Gets, I didn't go to 'Nova, only a big chunk of my money did. My daughter graduated from there in 2001. Technically 'Nova is not a Philly school. It's 3 towns west of Philly, but considered the Metro area and its located on the "Mainline", Rt 30 which runs right into Philly. Nova women cross country has won a few National titles.- 1989-94, 1998, 2009, 2010.
