Presenting fall 2020 All-Main Line cross country teams

Although the COVID-19 pandemic put the 2020 Main Line high school cross country season at risk of cancellation, the local squads were able to compete in a limited schedule this past fall.
The All-Main Line high school cross country teams are selected by the coaches. Because Main Line Media News covers 19 high schools, the Main Line Media News sports staff limits the number of sports available to first team, second team and honorable mention – but follows the priority of the coaches’ selections.
