The OLSH girls cross country team won the WPIAL Title on Thursday, October 29th at White Oak Park. The last time the girls won was in 2024. They have been the PIAA State runner-ups in 2024 and 2025.

The entire girls cross country scoring team placed in the top 10 and won medals. Hannah Hayes lead the team with a blazing finish and personal record that kept her only 1.5 seconds away from 1st place. Mira Mosca placed 3rd in 19:42. Eva Crofford placed 4th in 19:47. Jules Goshen placed 5th in 19:54 and Ellie Green placed 9th in 20:19 to finish out the team scoring. Dilanna DelTondo ran her best race of season placing 22nd in 21:36 and Lindsay Bressler finished 25th in 21:54.

The boys team had their best team finish of the season and placed 5th and just missed making states by 1 team spot. They beat several teams that had beaten them all year. Landon Bell and Sidney McLaughlin qualified for States with their best races of the year. Landon Bell lead the boys team placing 33rd place in 18:29. Sidney McLaughlin placed 34th in 18:34. Derek Daniel placed 42nd and ran 18:52. Jeremy Ye ran his best race of season placing 45th in 18:57, and Leopold Mosca finished out the boys team scoring placing 49th in 19:02.
