TRI-STATE TITLE;

Photo Gallery
Sophomore Ryan Gil
took first place in the Tri-State Coaches Invitational at Cooper's Rock
course at Slippery Rock on Thursday afternoon to lead the Tiger boys' team
to the team title. NA placed four runners in the top nine to easily
capture first place. Senior Will Appman was third,
senior Pat Morgan eighth, and senior Chase Broussard
ninth as the Tigers scored 36 points to second place Mt. Lebanon's 104.
Gil's time was the sixth fastest all-time on the Cooper's Lake course.
For the Lady Tigers,
sophomore Ali Greco came in 25th, senior Dana Preston 30th,
and sophomore Eleni Mermigas 31st as NA took third place in the team
standings. NA finished with 173 points with Latrobe winning the meet
