Delco Preview and Quote to run by
Here's a quick look at the Delco meet scheduled for Saturday afternoon at Rose Tree Park. Something to note, is that due to construction, the course will be slightly different. The finish has been extended some to make up the difference in distance, but the course still may be a little short.
First, the boys side.
Individually, you've got Cardinal O'Hara's Chris Garrity, Glen Mills' Mahdi Moliso, Harriton's Peter Downs, Haverford's Woo Kim and Strath Haven's Noah Frick all look to contend for the title. A lot will depend on who had to run hard in Wednesday's dual meets and who could coast a little. Haverford ran hard and beat Conestoga for the Central League title, so it might not be quite as sharp Saturday. Moliso also ran a fast time Tuesday, but the extra day may be just enough for him to bounce back today. Downs didn't run in a dual meet this week, so assuming he's healthy, he could have a good race, and expect Garrity to be strong as well.
As far as the team scoring goes, look for O'Hara to run well as it was second in the championship division at the Briarwood Invitational in September. Then you've got Haverford, depending on how much they have left in the tank after Wednesday, and Strath Haven should be a factor as well.
On the girls side, individually, Strath Haven's Hannah Grossman has been consistently fast all season. She could get a challenge from Archbishop Carroll's Katie Rodden. After that there are Haverford's Sophia and Tess Meehan, Notre Dame's Maria Seykora, Springfield's Francie McNally and Penncrest's Grace Chang.
Team wise, even though they appeared to run hard on Wednesday, Haverford has consistently shown the most depth this season. Also looking to challenge will be Strath Haven, which did not run all out Wednesday, so maybe it will have a little more left for Delcos, along with Notre Dame and Cardinal O'Hara.
And the quote for this post:
When it's hard to run, run hard.

Great Blog--but Harriton is in Montgomery County
Thanks for Harriton info. Figured that out after I had already posted the results part of things.
