The Lady Bulldogs took home their first team championship of this year last Monday in Albany. The flat course was 400 meters longer than usual, but the girls still ran well and placed highly.

ìI think we work together well as a team, and it definitely showed at race time,î said junior captain Tiff Rausch.

Jen Hess won the girls race by a wide margin with a time of 16:42. Erin Aagesen was next to cross the finish line in sixth place. Coming in ninth was Camille Flanders.

Following Flanders were Danielle Lieser, Carin Frenchick and Tiff Rausch who came in as a pack. They helped each other stay focused, and placed 12th, 13th, and 14th, respectively. Mesa Frenchick also ran an admirable race. She placed 21st.
