Audrey Ernst (St. Charles North, IL)
Audrey Ernst, who is also an accomplished triathlete, broke 17 minutes for the first time by pacing with Lindsay Payne at the Harvey Braus Invitational. She not only ran a new PR of 16:53, but set the nation's sixth-fastest three mile time. She took 13th at the Illinois State XC Championship last fall and fourth in the 1600m at the state track meet.
