Girls' XC Advance to Regional

It's on to Regional action for the girls' cross country team as they placed 3rd out of 12 teams to easily advance out of Sectionals on Tuesday at South Putnam. On a very rough and hilly course the girls showed lots of determination and ran close to their best times of the season. Julia Popnefoose lead the way placing 7th overall at 20:13. Cassidy Brown didn't miss a beat returning from a foot injury that kept her out for 2 weeks and placing 10th out of over 70 runners. Freshman Brianna Channon and Junior Alex Smock stuck together in the middle of the pack running 22:21 and 22:26 and passing several girls during the middle of the race to pick up some crucial points. Mackenzie Vondersaar, Rachel Graham, and Alli Kent sealed the race with great runs of their own! Congratulations girls on a job well done!
