Evelyn Rogers, Sr., Elizabeth Seton
After earning honorable mention on the All-Met list in 2022, Rogers announced herself as the area’s best runner with four consecutive top finishes in September. Committed to the University of Maryland, Rogers had a historic season. The senior won the Eagle Invitational, Bull Run Invitational and Adidas XC Challenge and then claimed the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title by more than a minute. A former softball player, she began running as a freshman.
Aidan MacGrath, Sr., West Springfield
MacGrath finished the year on a torrid pace, winning the Virginia Class 6 state championship, a precursor to her 17:39 5K at Nike Cross Regionals Southeast in Cary, N.C.
Vivian Kelly, Jr., Georgetown Visitation
Kelly trained in Colorado over the summer to improve her stamina, helping her shave a minute and a half off her winning time from last year’s D.C. State Athletic Association championships.
Katherine Morey, Fr., Churchill
With top-five finishes at the Oatlands Invitational and Maryland XC Invitational, the freshman burst onto the scene as one of the top runners in the area.
Elena Blodnikar, Sr., Leonardtown
A first-team All-Met pick last year, Blodnikar was just as strong in her final season, finishing it by taking second at the Maryland Class 4A championships.
Carter Brotherton, Sr., Great Mills
Brotherton won the Maryland Class 3A title in 18:33 — 28 seconds faster than the next-best finisher.
Claire Sivitz, Fr., Howard
Sivitz was one of the headliners of a strong class of freshmen in the area. She finished second at the Maryland Class 3A championships.
Ella Peterson, Sr., Loudoun Valley
One of state’s top runners, Peterson set a personal record of 18:30 at the MileStat XC Invitational in October.
Josh Alcombright, Severna Park
All year, Severna Park was the premier program in the area. Alcombright built an incredibly deep roster filled with young contributors such as freshman Josephine Kamas and sophomore Jocelyn DiAngelo. The Falcons won the Bull Run Invitational and Seahawk Invitational, then the 3A state championship, where they followed their script: No runner finished in the top three, but the Falcons cruised to a 53-point victory.
