FOXBURG, Pa. (EYT/D9) – It was a big afternoon for North Clarion cross country runners Kaine McFarland and Brynn Siegel.

Both ran career-best times at a meet at A-C Valley Thursday afternoon for the Wolves.

McFarland won the boys race with a time of 18 minutes, 16 seconds. He finished nearly a minute ahead of second-place finisher Payton Johnston of A-C Valley/Union (19:13).

North Clarion’s Aiden Thomas was third at 19:16, followed by Gabriel Fair (19:43) and Braden Custer (20:54) for the Wolves to round out the top five.

A-C Valley/Union didn’t have a full team, so there was no team score.

On the girls side, Siegel also broke her own personal record with a time of 21:36. She won the race by more than two minutes over teammate Drew Whitcomb (23:59).

Kayla Aaron (24:40), Kaylee Castner (26:44) and Isabella Hunt (30:44) rounded out the top five.
