Congratulations to all the runners who competed on Sunday.  There were a number of great races, finishes, and an exceptionally close overall girl's team score! The individual results are online at run the day (link to the right).  We will get a season summary of times for every meet this season soon and I will post with the complete team results. For now, congratulations to our Overall Girls and Boys Champions, St. Andrews - Newtown!

Regional Meet Information

Yes Card Application

Pope John Paul II will be chartering a bus to go to Nationals.  Here is the information:


  • The bus (or busses) will leave from the Pope John Paul II elementary school in the Coatesville Area (Chester County) on Thursday morning, November 20 around 7:30.  If we get multiple buses, perhaps we can arrange for different departure points.
  • The bus will leave Nashville for home around 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, November 23.
  • For budgetary purposes, plan on $140 per seat.  This could be less depending on the number of riders.  The fuller the bus, the less the cost. 
  • The cost includes all driver gratuities as well as transportation back and forth from the hotel to the XC course on Friday and Saturday.
  • We may not be able to accommodate everybody, so please have parents respond as quickly as possible to guarantee a seat.  For example, if we get 60 requests and a bus holds 56, it is not cost effective to rent two buses.
Interested parties should contact Mark Schmidt from Pope John Paul II.  Your coach has the contact infromation.
