The Down County Consortium Championship is now the MCPS Consortia Cross Country Championships. Teams from the Northeast Consortium (Blake, Springbrook, Paint Branch) now join the DCC (Einstein, Blair, Kennedy, Wheaton, Northwood) in the battle for the Consortia Cups.

The challenging course at Northwood High School can be the great equalizer, but expect the Einstein boys and the Blair girls to three-peat with ease. The Paint Branch boys and Kennedy girls have competed sparingly this season, but both teams should be competitive after winning the MCPS Division IV titles.

Springbrook's DeeDee Montiel should race Blair's Morgana D'Ottavi for the individual girls title. The front of the boys race should see Wheaton's Naimbai Njerakey challenge Nick Simpson and the Einstein crew.

The pre-registered middle school runners have increased about 50% from last year. Lauren McCaffrey, last year's middle school girls champ from Newport Mill, returns to defend her title. The boys' middle school race is wide open with last year's 1-2 Rory Lewis and Lyle Wilson from Newport Mill now running for Einstein.

T-shirts will be for sale.
