St. X Cross Country heads to State!

Bombers Look to Continue XC Dominance

Bomber Cross Country is gearing up for Saturday's Cross Country State Championship meet at Fortress Obetz in Obetz, Ohio.

Yesterday, Cincinnati Enquirer sports writer Brendan Connelly identified five key storylines heading into the state meet and here's what he had to say about the Bombers:

The St. Xavier Bombers are a perennial power. They have won 12 straight Greater Conference League South championships and 14 straight district titles. Aside from last year's sixth-place team finish, the Bombers have been in the top five of every state meet since 2012, and have qualified as a team every year since 2006. They took home the team title in 2012, 2013 and 2019, and Michael Vittuci won the 2014 race.

Six of the Bombers' top seven are upperclassmen, led by junior Evan Trapp and senior Colin Sams. Trapp's personal best of 15:29 is top 10 in school history and is the 20th fastest time in Division I this year.

The Bombers are fresh off a regional runner-up title as well as landing the GCL Athlete of the Year in Evan Trapp and GCL Coach of the Year in Andy Wietmarschen, providing them with a bit of tangible momentum heading into Saturday's race. The Bombers are slated to start at 3:00 pm and tickets can be purchased here.
