There was little surprise amongst competing teams when the first Patriot District cross country champion was crowned Wednesday afternoon, but after that, West Potomac, Liena Epstein and Brad Kenimer also joined the ranks of the district's elite.
For the fifth straight season – and for the sixth time in the past seven years - the girls from Lake Braddock ran away with the title, compiling only 47 points. Braddock's own Liana Epstein touched the twine first with a time of 18:01.
