Xavier and Mercy high school cross country teams have set new Southern Connecticut Conference (SCC) records thanks to their depth, and now both programs are targeting Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) titles.
Xavier's boys squad has relied on strong pack running led by juniors Quentin Koch, Holden Hines, James Perrault, Nolan O'Connor, and Alex Brown. The group was photographed competing at the 43rd Wickham Park XC Invitational on October 29, 2026.
Both teams will look to carry their conference success into the upcoming state championship meets.
