The fourth on the varsity team to finish was Adeline Kent, with a new personal record of 20:25:41 finishing 14th followed by Dani Nuest, with a personal record 20:38.8 finishing in 16th place.  Finishing up varsity was Maddie McDonald in 35th and Jaden Kraus in 44th.

 

The JV team finished fifth.  Megan Gregory placed 15th at 22:54.17 and Abby Nelson placed 17th at 23:01.83.  Both girls ran personal records and finished strong.
