Battle Mountain and Glenwood Capture Team Titles
The defending cross country state champions Battle Mountain stuck to the script and leaned heavily on distance to take the meet title. Sprinter Sabrina Sutter took second in the 100m and first in the 200m, and Grace Johnson took second in the 800m, the rest of the Husky's points on from the track were a group effort.
Battle Mountain placed four sprinters in the top five (the fourth did not count toward the team score) of the 400m. Naomi Harding crossed the line first in 60.76. The Huskies went 1-4-5 in the 1600m. Harding won again in 5:13.73, and Johnson took fourth with 5:22.15. And for the final performance for Battle Mountain, the Huskies went 1-2-7 in the 3200m led by Lizzy Harding at 11:20.61. Elizabeth Constien would finish less a second later.
The Huskies scored a total of 101 points for the win with just four points coming from jumps.
