PIAA Boys' Cross Country Champions - Team

The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) has crowned team champions in boys’ cross country since 1939. Each classification champion and additional schools from the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (WPIAL) have qualified for the PIAA Championships since its inception, with PIAA District VII claiming a total of 52 state team champions in the sport.

The WPIAL has produced multiple PIAA boys’ cross country team champions five times, doing so in 1969, 1970, 1972, 2014, and 2018. A total of six different WPIAL schools have won multiple PIAA team titles, with North Allegheny’s 16 being the most in league history. The other schools who have won two or more are: Mt. Lebanon (12), Neshannock (4), Winchester Thurston (4), Gateway (2), and Penn Hills (2).
