CCCYN Championship Results

Recap from Mary Ellen:

Congratulations to the Philadelphia CYO Cross Country team!

In all, we took 236 children to the national championships.  This is a record high number for our group.  The subnovice girls, subnovice boys and the novice boys came away with a national championship.  The novice girls and the minor girls were runner ups.  The meet drew over 2500 competitors from across the country so competition was tough.  Nolan Yeagle won the subnovice boys championship.  Emma Zwall won the 12 year old girls championship and Olivia Cellini won the 6 year old girls championship.  The top 25 in each age group received medals and the Philadelphia CYO came away with 41 medals in the 8 races that we entered (not counting the high school races.)
 
It was quite a day for the entire group.  Congrats to the runners, the coaches and their parents.  It was a wonderful experience that they all will remember for a very long time.
