Carlisle XC was in action at CD East yesterday for a double dual with both East and Chambersburg.

Our boys were led by Josh Blanton, Ben Kerr, Grant Best, Denny Shank, and Kolbin Heberlig. Our boys did take the win 15-50 against CD East and are now 2-2 on the season.
Our girls fared equally well, beating CD East 15-50, but dropping the meet to the Lady Trojans by a score of 22-39. The girls' meet was won by Carlisle's Ana Bondy, but Chambersburg's depth was too much for us.
