L-R:
Lindsey Ferguson, Allison Kieffer and Jennifer Clausen run together.
|
Erin
Bedell of Texas with about a mile to go. Girls from Texas only run
two-mile...
|
...races
during their season, so they have to adjust to the longer distance
here.
|
Maddie
Schueler leads South teammate...
|
...Beth
Fahey.

Lindsay
Flacks finished second at the West Regional...
|
...after
finishing fourth at the CA DIII State Meet.
|
Angelina
Blackmon suffered after going out a little too quickly...
|
...as
did Liza Pasciuto. Pasciuto qualified for this meet in 2000...
|
...as
a freshman. She missed qualifying in 2001 and 2002 but was finally...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...back
at the National Finals as a senior.
|
Brittany
Sedberry.
|
Laura
Bowerman of Florida was one of 22 first-time qualifiers here.

overcame a mid-season injury to qualify for this race.
|
An
exciting battle took place around the the back loop, and as the
runners reappeared...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...Katelyn
Kaltenbach had just caught up to Marie Lawrence. Lawrence took a
significant lead...
|
...down
the major hill and looked like she would run away from Kaltenbach,
but Kaltenbach...
|
...has
repeatedly proved that she has some of the best finishing speed
in high school running.
|
Kaltenbach
blew by Lawrence with about 100 meters to go and pulled away to
win...
|
...by
one second in 17:24. Both Lawrence and Kaltenbach had sisters who
are/were top high school runners.
