Portledge Cross Country On the Move

The Varsity Cross Country team traveled to Eisenhower Park this past Wednesday for the first of two consecutive IPPSAL meets there.

How Did the Panther Runners Fare?

The relatively young and inexperienced Portledge Varsity Cross Country team had a very strong showing at the second IPPSAL meet of the season. Even without the participation of two veteran runners, the Panthers took 2nd place overall and demonstrated that they will be a force in the league this year. Junior Steven Pardo and Freshman Alan Phipps placed 11th and 12th, respectively, to lead the Panther contingent. Other notable performances were turned in by Bryce Behar (15th place), Sam Scheinman (17th place), and John Hambrook (18th place). Among the female runners Millie Stallings took 2nd place in the girls division and finished 21st overall. When Delphine Starr and Millie can both run in the same race, we will be looking for a possible one/two Portledge finish. Way to go runners and good luck in your return to Eisenhower Park this Wednesday.
