If Grace Forbes’ trip to Hershey in November is anything like the one she enjoyed Saturday, the Strath Haven senior will leave pretty happy.

Forbes won the Girls AAA race at the 12th PIAA Foundation Invitational at Hershey’s Parkview course, which also hosts the state championship. Forbes crossed the tape in 18 minutes, 53 seconds, 24 ticks clear of runner-up Hannah Lindgren of North Allegheny. Forbes posted the second-fastest girls time of the day out of three classifications, trailing only Northern’s Marlee Starliper, the winner of the AA race in 18:12.

Forbes’ teammate Abby Loiselle finished 23rd in AAA in 20:28, and Paige Day was 54th as Strath Haven finished fifth as a team with 224 points. North Allegheny won the day with 66 points, and Central Bucks West took second with 112.
