The William Floyd High School girls’ varsity cross country team finished their regular season with a second-place overall result in Division I. Head coach John Ryan led the Colonials through a successful campaign, highlighted by strong performances at the Section XI Freshman/Sophomore Championship Meet.

At that meet, sophomores Anise Cobb, Serenity Wenger, and Esther Delille took the top three spots in their race, which resulted in a perfect team score and secured the Sophomore Team Championship for William Floyd. In the freshman division, eighth graders Coral Macchia and Grace Castantine from William Paca Middle School achieved season-best times and placed second and nineteenth respectively while competing at the varsity level.

Several athletes were recognized for individual achievements during the season. Senior Allana Morgan, junior Brianna Smith, sophomore Serenity Wenger, and eighth grader Coral Macchia received All-League honors. Additionally, Allana Morgan, Serenity Wenger, Anise Cobb, and Coral Macchia were named to the All-Division I team.

The Colonials will next compete at the Section XI State Qualifier on Thursday, November 6 at Sunken Meadow State Park.

"Best of luck to the girls as they prepare to compete at the State Qualifier!"
