District 11 boys cross country: Tribute to Parkland, then gold for Emmaus and Saucon Valley
Runners and teams paused to honor Parkland teammate Aakash Prakash, who was the victim of a falling tree at practice, before competition resumed. Emmaus and Saucon Valley went on to claim top honors, with the Emmaus Green Hornets sweeping the 3A first places.
The first order of business at Wednesday’s District 11 cross country championships was to let the Parkland team know that the running community stood with the Trojans, who had to deal with the tragic death of teammate Aakash Prakash, victim of a falling tree at a practice.
