Analysis: The Lincoln girls cross country team from Oregon is poised for an impressive 2024 season after a strong showing in 2023. Last fall, they finished 21st out of 22 teams at Nike Cross Nationals, but they are bringing back a talented core that is set to make an impact this year. The team excelled throughout the season, securing a second-place finish at the OSAA State Championships and winning the NXR Northwest Regional.
