Sara Sargent wins Cross Country Coaches Youth National Champs in Kentucky

Pennsbury sophomore Sara Sargent - coming off a disappointing 6th place finish at the PIAA State Championships on November 6th - captured the win in the Intermediate race. She had been 2nd in 2009 on her way to qualifying for her first Foot Locker Finals berth a week later. Sargent is slated to join other top PA talent next Saturday on Long Island, NY for the Foot Locker Northeast Regional. (Flash result courtesy of Pennsbury Head Coach, Don Little)
