Nebraska and Oklahoma State XC Championships were held Friday and Saturday. Linda and I spent our weekend at the latter. While we missed Nebraska’s I surmised a few points perusing the results.
Class A Boys champs Lincoln Southwest had 5 seniors and 2 juniors. 2nd place Millard West 2 seniors, 1 junior, 2 sophomore, and 2 freshman. 3rd team Lincoln NorthStar led by Liam Chot’s overall in 15:50. 4th place Fremont had 5 sophomores, 1 jr. and 1 sr.
The Class A girls race must have been a thriller. Fremont Sophomore Ellie Dahl (18:35.56) an eyelash ahead of Lincoln East Freshman Berlyn Schutz (18:36.00) and a nose ahead of PLVS Jr. Kaylie Crews (18:37.1). 4th place was another Lincoln East Freshman Kylie Muma (18:46.8). Big tip of the sombrero to Maddie Wilt of DC West on her 9th place finish (20:18), the first ever top 10 athlete for the Falcons, congrats Coach Maline!
