After finishing fifth as a junior at the Indiana State Meet, Jessica Gall went undefeated during the regular season, earning her first state cross country title October 27. She then captured the Mid East Championship, showing that she can run 5k as well as she can run 4k (the distance that Indiana girls run during the regular season), beating Ohio's Kristina Roth by two seconds.

...Will attend Indiana next fall... As a freshman, Gall ran the 800m in track and vowed never to run cross country... Gall finished 27th at the Foot Locker Midwest Regional as a junior...
