Boys Preview
The Eagle Invite will bring in 29 schools from across the state and DC to compete on Centennial's 3-mile course. On the Boy's side, the race between Centennial and Howard should be a fun one to watch. Howard looked strong in thier season opener last week as they won the top of the Hill Invite and placed 4 runners in the top 8. Centennial did not run thier Varsity last week but will at the Eagle Invite. David Hertzberger will look to lead the Eagles and thier strong core of runners. Liberty also looked strong last week, finishing second at the Top of the Hill Invite, and should be in contention at the Eagle Invite as well!
Individually, Henry Hopper (Wilde Lake) comes in as the top-ranked runner. He looked strong in his first race last week, winning the Seahawk Invite with a 3-mile time of 15:12. Joey Ensor (Howard) ran 15:39, winning the Top of the Hill invite, and will look to challenge Hopper. Kidus Zeleke (Reservoir), Caleb Tenney (Pallotti) Erik Penkala (Southern-AA), and David Herzberger (Centennial) should all be in the top pack as well!
