Three members of the Pequea Valley (PV) girls' cross-country team went where very few Pequea Valley athletes have gone before - the state championships. Aubrey Ressler, Caleigh Vincent, and Abby Beiler competed in the PIAA 2A championships at Hershey's Parkview course on Nov. 5.

The event was held on an unseasonably warm day, making the course even more challenging. Ressler earned PV's highest finish of the day, securing the 56th slot with a time of 21:32. She was the eighth freshman to cross the finish line. The overall winner was Brownsville Area senior Jolena Quarzo (18:11.3).

Following Ressler, who was fifth at the District Three championships a week earlier, was Caleigh Vincent. The junior clocked a 22:26 and was 109th while sophomore teammate Abby Beiler (23:02) finished 30 places back. A total of 244 runners competed.
