Stephanie Palese, a senior from Clearview, helped Delaware win its own Delaware XC Invitational Saturday.
Palese placed ninth overall and was Delaware’s fourth runner as the Blue Hens outscored St. Joe’s 26-36 for the team title.
Palese ran 24:18 over 6,000 meters at White Clay Creek State Park in New Castle County, Delaware.
It appears that Palese only ran XC sporadically while at Clearview and was never on the Pioneers’ varsity at sectionals. She placed as high as seventh at sectionals in the pole vault.
