All three teams are rated in the top ten in Class A this year.

Eighth grader Kacy Nehowig was the star of the meet, placing first with a time of 15:21. Nehowig's times have been decreasing as the meets go by this year. "She has been running her heart out," said her mother Deb Nehowig.

Nehowig got the first varsity win of her career.

Ninth grader Brooke Schmitz placed sixth overall. She ran a great race in the perfect weather.

Seventh graders Kaitlyn Frenchick leads eighth grader Tanis Beireis during the early stages of the girls' varsity cross country race. Beireis finished 21st and Frenchick 32nd.

The next three to finish for the Bulldogs, all of whom are in junior high, were seventh grader Brittni Schmitz in 15th, eighth grader Tanis Beireis in 21st, and seventh grader Kaitlyn Frenchick in 32nd. This rounded out Paynesville's team score at 75.

Sixth for Paynesville was senior Nicole Flint. She placed 46th at her last meet on the home course. Flint is still suffering from her shin injury.

Eighth grader Krista Wendroth completed the varsity lineup by finishing 53rd.

In the junior high race, seventh grader Melanie Koerner won with a time of 11:36.
