Bellefonte visited Philipsburg-Osceola High School along with Clearfield for the final regular season meet of the year.

Bellefonte boys came to the meet, and did what they needed to do to capture the LHAC section 3 championship for the second year in a row. The boys finish 10-0 in the regular season. Led by Senior Kaiden Williams where he finished first on a very hilly course in Philipsburg. Williams returned to this course for the first time since he won this race back in 8th grade when he was on the junior high team. Maverick Muchmore and Jonathan Gasper came in second and third completing the boys 1-2-3 finish. Kaiden Musser and Phoenix Torres finished the race in their positions to seal the deal for the boys. It is very impressive how the boys ran all this season. It goes to show that everyone on this team with their positions truly matters. The boys beat Clearfield and Philipsburg-Osceola just by a point each.

Bellefonte girls also competed in their end of the regular season meet against Clearfield and Philipsburg-Osceola. They finished the regular season 8-2 taking a win over Philipsburg-Osceola and falling to Clearfield.

They had another very impressive season as a team and I’m looking forward to seeing our girls team finish out the championship season strong. Addison Fry came across the line in first with teammate Natalie Jolley not far behind in 4th place. Emma Burger came in 7th and Senior Alexis Fravel placed in 13th. Anna Tyson was 15th and Senior Ruthann Smoyer 18th. Now it’s time to continue focusing on the end of the season goals for everyone as we approach our last couple championship races.
