Both Phipps and Hanna have goals to improve their times from last year and lead their Solanco Mules cross country team to the
District III meet.
The words stand out clearly on Solanco School District’s website, just beneath the image of a snorting Golden Mule who looks like he’s running for tough yardage on fourth and one.
“Always Earned. Never Given,” it says.
After a season with a roster of 80% freshmen and sophomores that didn't win a league game, Solanco field hockey has plenty of experience and high hopes entering this season.

The team did lose its senior goalie, but has a junior this year, Kendall Galbreath, they expect to be an equal replacement.
Solanco's top cross country runners say they like to reach the state tournament this year.

Isaac Esh, senior

Esh and Reese lead an experienced Solanco cross country team into the Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 2 season.
Esh, a four-year runner, has a goal to lower his home course time to a sub-17:00 personal record, and Reese is working to
get below 18:00.
Even just one goal a game can turn a losing record into a winning one, Solanco assistant girls soccer coach Remington Wright says.
