As the unofficial start to the 2026 fall sports season quickly approaches, AustintownAthletics.com will close the month of June by taking a look back at the top ten sports moments from the 2025-2026 school year. The list will feature the most memorable and notable individual and team performances, achievements, and milestones as selected by members of the Austintown Fitch Athletic Department.

The Falcon Pride Top Ten Countdown will begin on June 20 with #10 and continue through the end of the month with the #1 sports moment of the year. As always, thank you to all of Falcon Country for your continued support of our student-athletes both on the field and, most importantly, in the classroom. Keep celebrating your Falcon Pride!

Brenna Bosley helped lead the charge for Fitch at the District Meet as she posted a 7th place finish with a time of 19:55.57. Lilly Trolio wasn't far behind as she finished in 13th place at 20:21.39. In addition to Bosley and Trolio, five other runners moved on to the Division 2 Regional Meet including Maddie Galchick, Tayrismar Mendez-Tirado, Lisa White, Rachel DeMetro and Graceyn Bosley for a chance to advance to State.

Senior Lilly Trolio was the lone Lady Falcons representative to advance to the OHSAA Division 2 State Championships after finishing the regional course in 20:02.65, placing 44th overall in a field of 332 runners. Fellow senior Brenna Bosley had a strong showing as well with a time of 20:21.81, but just missed out on advancing with her teammate. Trolio became the first Lady Falcon to qualify for the state meet since Elizabeth Spalding (Class of 2025) who advanced at the end of the 2021 season. Trolio was also the second Fitch runner in as many seasons to make it to the OHSAA Cross Country State Championships as Justin Sahli (Class of 2025) represented the Falcons' boys team in 2024.
