Liberty’s girls cross country team closed out the regular season with wins over Freedom, 15-50, Bethlehem Catholic, 15-50, Northampton, 23-34, and Nazareth, 24-35, and lost to Easton, 21-40, last Tuesday at Northampton.

Placing first for the Hurricanes girls team was Maddie Mumma with a time of 19:36.

“I took the first mile really quick, and I was actually in first place in the second mile. It was a pretty big risk because that was faster than I had been running, and so, for the third mile, I tried to keep going,” Mumma said. “It happens, but I got passed by three people toward the end.”

Freedom sophomore Ava Fihlman settled in with the front of the pack, letting senior runners lead the way.

“I was fourth, and at the two-mile mark, I started picking it up a little bit, but I wanted the girls in front of me to set the pace because this was my first time doing the course,” Fihlman said. “Holding third was a comfortable pace for me. I didn’t feel like I could speed up any more.”

Both Fihlman and Mumma set personal records on Tuesday.

In Freedom’s team results, the Patriot girls carry only a handful of runners, and lost 15-50.

The East Penn Conference Cross Country Championships are scheduled for Tuesday, past Press deadlines, at DeSales University.
