After a solid third place finish at the Mountain Run on Wednesday, we predict that South Carroll's Erin Langille to pull in another third place finish at the Howard County Invitational behind two of the state's best in Brit Lang and Claudia Wendt. We also think highly of her teammate Brian Cave, last week's Brunswick Invite champ, to take runner-up in the boys race at Centennial High School. (Photo by Lisa McArthur)
