During the month of August, PennTrackXC is giving you wall-to-wall coverage of the upcoming cross country season! We'll be going through each district, previewing the top teams and individuals. We will be starting with a look at the team battles and then moving on to individuals in the second half of the month.

With our rankings, you'll get an "objective" stat-based look at each district, and with our breakdowns, we'll give some "subjective" thoughts on the action you can expect this fall! Keep track of all of our 2018 XC preview content HERE!


It'll be close races in District 9 this season!

In 1A, Elk County Catholic will look to make it four-in-a-row, but motivated Clarion Area and Smethport Area squads will be shooting for the win and one of two state spots. In 2A, there's just one state spot up for grabs, and defending champs Bradford, along with Punxsutawney Area and Clearfield Area will all be gunning for it.

We broke down the District 9 boys team action in the links below, broken up by classification:
