The Indian River High junior topped the Division II girls field with a time of 18:49.50, winning by 11 seconds to defend her title.
Crandell is the first downstate girl to win multiple cross country state championships since Caesar Rodney High’s Jill Hajec won Division I titles in 1999 and 2001.
Upstate teams swept the team championships with Salesianum winning the Division I boys’ crown while Tatnall took the Division II boys’ title. Girls team champions were Padua in Division I and St. Andrew’s in Division II.
The other individual winners were Jonathan Drew of Middletown in boys’ Division I (16:06.20), Ethan Walther of Delaware Military Academy in boys’ Division II (16:18.30) and Sophia Holgado of Padua in girls’ Division I (19:10.80).
Downstate runners who earned top-10s included Ryan Baker of Cape Henlopen and Maddox Downs of Caesar Rodney who finished third and ninth respectively in the boys’ Division I race while Ian Hayes of Woodbridge was fourth in the boys’ Division II meet. Cape Henlopen’s Katie Kuhlman (fifth), Sussex Tech’s Arina Varrato (seventh) and Milford’s Faith Mitchell (ninth) finished in the top-10 of the Division I girls’ race while Lily Bowe of Sussex Academy was 10th in Division II.
