Lower Merion’s Trey Gannon is Main Line Boys Athlete of the Week

A senior captain, Trey (TJ) Gannon finished second at the Central League Cross Country Championship Meet, just 0.6 seconds behind champion Charlie Miller of Conestoga. Gannon helped lead the Aces to an undefeated season and a first-place finish at the Central League Championship Meet, and he earned the honor of first team All-Central League. Lower Merion boys’ cross country coach David Van Houten said, “As a captain, TJ helped keep the team motivated and focused through summer training and early in the fall when the competitive season was in doubt.” Gannon’s two siblings, Andrew (a sophomore) and Anny (a freshman) both run for Lower Merion’s cross country teams.
