The Lady Lions were led by last year’s State qualifier, sophomore Gretchen Jones, who finished fifth in a time of 21:52.  Senior Erin O’Tool was second for the Lions, finishing 11th overall with a time of 23:27.

Sophomore Rissa Barragy earned a spot in the top 20, finishing 19th with a time of 25:21.  A pair of freshmen rounded out the Lions’ scoring five, with Katelyn Moore finishing 22nd in a time of 25:38 and Bailey Larsen finishing 25th in 26:07.  Rounding out the varsity runners were the Tesar sisters, sophomore Tali Tesar finishing 35th (27:49) and freshman Nikki Tesar finishing 39th place (28:40).

“This squad looks much improved from last year,” said Coach DiMarco.  “We ran a predominately freshman lineup, and now these girls have a year of experience and have come into the season much stronger.”
