The girls team placed second behind Div. II State ranked Tippecanoe. Tara Snipes made All-County by placing 6th.

"Our top two girls ran in the 20’s, and our three through six girls were all under 22," said girls coach Libby Long. "We have never had that many girls run that fast. The girls really have been running incredible races. To come in and place in front of both Troy and Milton was a huge boost for them. Running is such a neat sport because you have control over your own body. You are the only one who can push yourself to get faster. These girls truly understand how to push through discomfort and race to the best ability they have."

Tara Snipes and Carrie Spurgeon have been consistently all year, placing near the top in each race. Snipes came in sixth with a time of 20:36, while Spurgeon was ninth with a 20:57.

"They both continue to run stronger each race," Long praised. "Jessie and Casey both had a breakout race. They both ran their personal bests. Emily ran another solid race coming in less than a second from her best time. Kayla had an awesome race reaching the 21’s for the first time this year. Erin, Julianna, Kayleigh, and Raquel also ran notable races helping the team earn second place. We are looking forward to traveling to the Anna Invitational this Saturday."
