CLARION, Pa. (D9Sports) — A sendoff for the Clarion High School boys’ cross country team plus girls’ cross country runner Katie Craig will be held at 9:30 a.m. Friday with fans asked to gather in Memorial Park across from the Clarion County Courthouse to cheer on the team’s bus as it passes by on its way to Hershey, Pa., and the PIAA State Championships.The boys’ team qualified for the state championships as a team by finishing second to Elk County Catholic at last weekend’s District 9 championships at Ridgway, while Craig qualified as an individual.
“It’s going to be like what we did for baseball in the spring,” Christie Datko, one of the organizers of the event said. “We are asking the community to come out and support the team at Memorial Park or along Main Street as they are escorted out of town.”
