In the Middle School meet, Wellsboro won both races due to the fact that none of the other schools had enough runners. Aidan Perry (10:13) and Herschel Holsomback (10:53) took home the top two spots.

With the loss, the Hornets start the 2014 season 0-2 (0-2 NTL). The team will be back in action on Tuesday, September 16 as they travel to Athens.
