It’s becoming old hat, this business of the Emmaus girls cross country winning everything in sight.

Like an assembly line, the Hornets continue to produce and last Thursday they produced a District 11 Class 3A cross country championships at DeSales University. Emmaus finished with 53 points and with a 20:42 time, 18 points ahead of second place Southern Lehigh.

“It has been a joy to watch them work so hard together, but more important to keep things in perspective as well,” said coach Kami Reinhard. “There is more to this team beyond winning.”

In another extraordinary performance, junior Hailey Reinhard won the individual title in 19:39.05, which was roughly a 14-second improvement on her Eastern Pennsylvania Conference time she ran at DeSales nine days earlier.

“It means so much to go to states,” said Hailey Reinhard. “It’s so much fun. It’s a great accomplishment.”

Senior Isabella Lees was the next Emmaus finisher, overall claiming fifth place in 20:25. Freshman Payton Campbell took ninth overall, while sophomore Sophia Kovalski and senior Madison Torretta finished next. Nicol Nosal and Isabella Scarlata rounded out the Emmaus roster.
