Central Cross Country Anticipates Exciting Season

The Central Martinsburg Cross Country team is gearing up for another exciting season. The previous season (2022) resulted in the boys team winning 4/6 meets within the Laurel Highlands conference and 6 wins and 6 losses in non-conference meets. The boys team was ranked 3rd overall in District 6 AA championships. The ladies team only consisted of 2 runners in 2022 and had great success regardless of size. The girls team overall had 1/6 wins in Laurel Highlands conference and 2/6 wins in non-conference meets. Freshman Lanee Berkhimer (shown) won the District 6 A championship meet and was invited to states in Hershey where she placed 10th overall.

Coaches Lacey Ceschini and Joe Bilka are excited to announce the following runners on the 2023 roster: Seniors Ian Crilly and Ethan Olivieri; Juniors Camden Custer and Jonah Strayer; Sophmores Lanee Berkhimer and Braden Allison and Freshman Reese Miller. The coaches are also thrilled that this year we will have a Junior High cross country team with the following runners: Andrew Bassler, Carmen McNichol, Nora Kuster, and Tristin Caporuscio. The strengths of the season are 5 returning letter winners, hard working athletes and a junior high team to build on the success of the team.

To kick off the season the dragons will host a home meet on Sept. 28 at 4 p.m. Please join us in supporting Cross Country.
