League Previews 10/16 Meets

Lebanon Lancaster League 10/16
Harrison Schettler is the top returner for the race and is coming off a great track season where he was sub 4:20 in the mile. I haven't seen much results from him on the trials this year, but if he is healthy he is a title contender. Single A stud Shawn Wolfe will be the main competition for Schettler, hopefully pulling along his teammate Mark Bachman who was also a top runner in AA last season. Annville Celona returns their entire top 7 from last season including a bunch of young studs and a slew of Seniors. As a A team competing with some AAA squads, it will be interesting to see where they finish.

Lehigh Valley Conference 10/16
Colin Abert headlines the field at Bethlehem Muncipal as the sophomore performed admirably at Paul Short, mixing it up with a slew of solid runners. Abert was 3rd at last year's meet, but is the top returner from the race. Alec Lederer and Trevor Bergen are two other top returners as is Shawn Regan, one of the top finishers in the AA state meet in 2011. Parkland will look to take back the title at this meet, returning their top 3 runners from a year ago.

Moutain Athletic Conference 10/16
The Mifflin County boys will look to put their stamp on this race for the 2nd season. Jon Colwell and Addison Monroe took the top two spots last season and both return looking to take down those spots yet again. Colwell was 31st at the AAA state meet last season and is one of the best runners flying under the radar right now. Monroe is a nice state meet sleeper as well.

YAIAA Championships 10/16
Ryan Hertzog headlines the field as the top returner and a top 40 finisher at the state meet last year, however, he will face up and coming stud Pat Reilly from Dallastown who had a breakout race at the Carlisle Invitational. Red Lion returns most of their top runners from last year's meet, and although they lost Matt Croft, they do have the potential to take home the team title.
