Varsity: 5th in Conference
JV: 4th in Conference
The Girls Cross Country
team improved again this season. The team finished 9th in the Sectional
and ran a very good race the week before at Regionals. The team will need
to be in the top 5 at the Sectional next year to advance to the state meet. We were led again this year by Ashley
Heidenrich as our number one runner. Katelyn Mullinax and Sarah
Vitro also had strong seasons as our 2nd and 3rd runners. Jennifer Velazquez and Payton Green also
consistently did a good job on race day and were our 4th and 5th runners in the
important meets at the end of the season. Overall, the team improved a
great deal from August to October.

The girls CC team was better this season. We finished 5th in the DVC Conference Meet and ran better than last year at several very competitive invitationals, including the Falcon Classic and the Twilight Invite. Ashley Heidenrich led the team all season. She was the champion at the Aurora City Meet, placed in the top ten at the Falcon Classic, the DVC, and the Regional, and finished 18th at the ultra-competitive Twilight. Ashley was all conference and Sarah Vitro and Katelyn Mullinax were special mention all-conference. Sarah and Katelyn were a strong 2nd and 3rd runner combination in our last several meets. Julian Holstead was our competitive 4th runner, and Jamie Elenbaas, Shaelyn Iyer, and Jennifer Velazquez rounded out the varsity as we finished the season. Jennifer was greatly improved this fall and finished the season as our number 5 runner. Thank you especially to any of our girls who made a commitment this summer. We look forward to taking another step forward during the summer and the fall 2018 season.
