Mifflin County strong in home cross country meet

REEDSVILLE — Mifflin County had three boys finish in the top five and the Huskies defeated Central Dauphin East, 17-39, and Chambersburg 28-29.

The girls team had a pair finish in the top five, but had split results, defeating Central Dauphin East, 25-35, while falling to Chambersburg, 22-39.

Chayce Macknair finished first while teammates Brayden Harris (second) and Chase Sheaffer (fourth) rounded out the top five for the Huskies.

“We believed we could beat Chambersburg up front, but were concerned about their depth,” Mifflin County boys coach Greg Loht said. “They made it a dog fight and we were fortunate to win.”

The girls team saw Joy Galbraith finish second and Lauren Kuykendall place fourth while Julia Montgomery finished seventh.

“The girls are at a point where they can run with the team that have dominating the Mid-Penn,” Huskies girls coach Jenn Freed said. “This strong finish is a great way to start off the regular season.”

Mifflin County runs at the Altoona Invitational Saturday.
