Championships allow Montrose, Holy Redeemer teams to move up

Holy Redeemer and Montrose each captured boys and girls District 2 championships, allowing all four teams to move up in the Century Dental Associates Cross Country Power Rankings of District 2 teams.

The latest rankings were released late Monday night and are the next-to-last of the season.

With two pairs of teams going head-to-head in both boys and girls and five boys and five girls teams all running the same course during Saturday’s Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Championships in Hershey, the teams will be ranked one last time following the state meet.

Holy Redeemer won both Class 2A titles at last week’s District 2 Championships while Montrose won both Class A titles.

The Holy Redeemer girls moved up from third to second while the school’s boys team climbed from sixth to third.

Both Montrose teams gained one position, leaving the girls fourth and the boys fifth.

Both Dallas teams also gained ground in this week’s rankings along with the Mid Valley and Blue Ridge boys and the Lake-Lehman girls.

Delaware Valley’s girls joined the rankings.

The North Pocono boys and Crestwood girls followed up unbeaten conference championship seasons with district titles to hold on to first place.

Abington Heights remained second in the boys rankings.

Lakeland dropped out of the girls rankings.
