Lady Little Lions win Spiked Shoe

From CDT staff reports

UNIVERSITY PARK — The State College girls' cross country team won the Spiked Shoe Invitational at Penn State behind four top-10 finishers on Friday afternoon.

Chloe Schmidt captured the individual title for the Lady Little Lions, finishing in 19:10, 16 seconds better than second-place runner Katie Sick of Millville.

Lucia Sofo placed third (19:42), Nora Adams was ninth (20:36) and Tatum Del Bosco was 10th (20:36) for State College, which won the 13-team event with 30 points. Punxsutawney finished second (104 points) and Fairview was third (107).

“State College hasn’t won the Spiked Shoe Invitational in a long, long time,” coach Rebecca Donaghue said. “It was good to win with the times that we posted on a rainy and sloppy day. They were really impressive. I think our ranking in the state (sixth, according to penntrack. com) will go up.”

Bellefonte placed ninth (219 points) and Philipsburg- Osceola was 11th (253).
