Sept. 9 at Mount Union — A season-opening quad meet hosted by the Trojans against Tussey Mountain, Forbes Road, and Williamsburg.

On the junior high side, the Trojan girls went 3-0 and the boys went 0-2. "Given the rise in temperature, everyone ran hard this afternoon," said Trojans head coach Casey Hanlon. "We were missing some runners because of a soccer match on the same day. ... The future for the junior high girls looks promising."

Program Notes
2025: Boys retained the ICC dual-meet title (29 straight dual wins); Girls competed short-handed.
The boys' team has won the ICC dual-meet title in each of the last two seasons (2024, 2025). Bob Wydock led both programs from 1995 until Casey Hanlon — who also now heads the track & field program — took over as head coach; the record book's season-by-season data (below) predates that change and is not yet split by coach. No individual state qualifiers or team championship history beyond the ICC dual-meet title have been verified for this program.
Boys: 105–130
All-time dual-meet record, 1995–2020 (25 seasons on file, .447).
Girls: 72–157
All-time dual-meet record, 1995–2020 (26 seasons on file, .314).
Casey Hanlon
Current head coach of both programs. Bob Wydock coached both programs from 1995 to the mid-2020s (30 years) before Hanlon took over — the same transition documented on the Track & Field page.
Results on File, 1995–2020
2020 dual-meet records are not broken out in the program's record book (COVID-shortened season); 1996 boys and 2021–2025 for both teams are not yet in the record book.
