Delco RRC Helps Direct Another Successful Delco XC Championships 2026

Our Delco RRC helped direct another successful Delaware County high school cross-country championship meet at Rose Tree Park on Saturday October 10, 2026.  It was a beautiful autumn day as 617 boys and girls from 20 county schools participated in the annual event. Our club has been involved with this meet every year since 1976.

Congratulations to our own Eric Mundy who is head coach of the Episcopal Academy high school girls.  They won their second straight Delco team title with 78 points.

Individual winner for the girls was Coco Conner, a senior at Radnor HS  who completed the hilly 5K course in 19:17.
Sophomore Cayla Gaffney from Strathhaven was second in 19:21.   Her mother,  Christina, has participated in our club fun-runs in recent years.  Congrats also to Ava Mundy, a 7th grader at Episcopal Academy for placing 3rd overall in the girls middle school 3K race with a time of 11:46.

Radnor senior Connor Walsh won the individual boys high school race in 16:26.

Ridley High School easily took the boys team title with  42 points.  They previously won the title in 1997.

Many thanks to our Delco RRC members and friends who helped direct the meet including  Jen Powers, Terry Adamson,
John Baron, Glenn Bowman, Bridget (Mundy) Velardi, Andy Keller, Mark Draper,  Mary Beth Mundy,  Dave Webb,
John Greenstine, and Byron Mundy.

Also thank you to Ken Taylor, owner of The Running Place who, along with our Delco RRC, co-sponsored  the 600 free souvenir light blue t-shirts that were given out to all participants and coaches this year.

And thank you to the 8 Delco Park police for providing  traffic control for the 5 hours it took to complete the meet.

And finally thanks to Garnet Valley girls head coach Terry Lillicrap for setting up the course and working with  Dan Nelson who did another great job timing the six races.
