Alli Hendrickson and Lexi Dehmer ran at the MSHSL Class AA State Cross Country meet last Saturday, held at St. Olaf in Northfield. 

 

Coach Trish Reimer-Kealy said “It is always a great experience to compete at a state competition and this meet was no different.” She went on to say the top runners in the state competed — including her two girls — “and it was a great set of races.”  

 

Hendrickson, a junior, ran a time of 19:34.80 and placed 42nd, while Dehmer, a freshman, ran 19:50.90 for 58th; 175 runners from all over the state participated.

 

The winner of the race,    Anna Fenske of Farmington (an eighth-grader), ran the race in 17:41.5.

 

“They competed well and we are really proud of their efforts,” Reimer-Kealy said.  “We appreciate this successful year and look forward to next year!”
