4 members of the Wellsboro Cross Country teams were named to the Towanda Daily Review's All-Region team on Wednesday, November 23.

Sophomore Aidan Perry headlines the Hornets with a first place selection. Perry had the team's fastest time of the year with a 16:32 at the North Penn-Mansfield/CV tri-meet and qualified for States with a 5th place finish at the District IV Championships.

Junior Anna Bleggi was a second team selection. Bleggi won 2 meets during the year and ran her best time (20:38) at the NTL Coaches' Invite. Bleggi also placed 19th at Districts.

Junior Connor Brought and freshman Kayla Mengee were both third team selections. Brought finished his season with a 19th place finish at Districts (18:42) and ran his best time at the North Penn-Mansfield/CV tri-meet (17:40). He also dropped 50 seconds off his quickest time from when he was a sophomore (18:32). Mengee had a great freshman year for the Hornets, picking up a 2nd place finish and two 3rd place finishes while running her best time (21:25) at the North Penn-Mansfield/CV tri-meet. Mengee finished 33rd in her first District meet.

"These four athletes are well deserving of the accolades they have received," said head coach Ron Brought. "They show up every day prepared to work hard and perform to the best of their ability. I'm very happy to see them get the recognition in the NTL and beyond as All-Stars. They are a great example of what Wellsboro expects from their student athletes."

WellsboroAthletics.com would like to congratulate Aidan, Anna, Connor, and Kayla on their selections and thank them for all their hard work and dedication to the program.
