The girls race was also extremely exciting as a group of three girls -- Grace Ping (MN), Anna Fenske (MN), and Emily Covert (MN) -- took it out from the gun.
The three battled all the way through 3K. At the 3K mark, Covert started to pull away from Fenske and Ping. After 3K Covert continued to hammer away at the pace. She opened the gap all the way to the finish, where she would pull off the upset win by running 18:11:20.
The team battle was intense as we got to witness No. 5 Great Oak, No. 10 Naperville North, No. 13 Edina, and No. 15 Wayzata face. In the end, it was the Naperville North girls who would come away with the win pulling off a three-point upset, 150 to 153 over the Great Oak girls.
Naperville North took the win by finishing 4, 9, 19, 58, and 60 with a 19:50 average and a 2:01-second 1-5 split. The Great Oak girls were just off that mark, finishing 6, 17, 20, 44, and 66 with a 19:55 average and 1:56-second 1-5 split.
