This week on the DELCO XC Podcast, we dive into one of cross country’s most overlooked truths — it’s a team sport through and through.

From PIAA District 1, District 12, and the PA Independent State Championships, we break down how chemistry, trust, and execution decide who’s heading to Hershey.

We talk Haverford’s dangerously confident run, Penncrest’s breakout performance, and Marple’s Julian Bothma’s moment of joy, before heading over to Belmont Plateau to unpack Episcopal Academy’s historic finish, Agnes Irwin’s podium push, and Notre Dame’s surprise top-5 at PAISAA.

Add in a few laughs, a shot at ChatGPT’s “predictions,” and some love for the runners who just missed the cut — and you’ve got a full plate of district drama, DELCO pride, and the road to the land of chocolate 🍫.

Buckle up, tie those spikes tight, and get ready to be dangerously confident.
