On a sunny, Autumn day, with temperatures in the mid-50s, the twenty-two teams from the Lancaster Lebanon League met to race to determine who would be considered the best and also who would qualify for Districts.
Last season, an effort was made to move Lancaster Lebanon League Cross Country Championship Meet to South Hills Park for the first time. After a successful 2023, the event was held in South Lebanon for the 2nd straight year.
Below are the LebCo specific results from the races. It is noted where teams qualified for the District 3 Championship Meet, which will be held at Big Spring High School on October 26th. However, we are still working to confirm which individuals may have also qualified.
