And the Daniel Boone girls cross country team didn’t slow up a bit Tuesday. The Blazers again led the way as they swept a four-school Berks Conference meet that included Conrad Weiser, Fleetwood and Berks Catholic.

Boone scored decisive wins over the Scouts (18-41), the Tigers (16-47) and the Saints (19-36) to run its season record to 9-0.
