"She had a wonderful race, commanding the lead as she approached the first mile marker," coach Kim Leupold said. "She pulled ahead and ran a race with confidence and mental toughness. She also set a new course record with a time of 14 minutes, 50.12 seconds."
The girls finished fourth place overall with 112 points, only four points out of second (Stevens Point, 108) and three out of third (Appleton North, 109).
