Presenting 2019 All-Main Line cross-country teams

Last fall, the Main Line high school cross-country trails featured some fine runners who were among the leaders at the state, district and league championships.
Because Main Line Media News covers 19 high schools, the Main Line Media News sports staff limits the number of spots available to first team, second team and honorable mention — but follows the priority of each coach’s nominations. What follows are the 2019 All-Main Line high school cross-country teams:
