COUJMBUS - Unlike t1e La Sallt• boys' team, winning tw state championship was far from a sure thing for the St. Un•ulaAcademy girls heading into the st:te cross country meet Saturday at Scioto Downs in Collllllbus. The wins by the two tea!lls, along with Lakota West senio::Amanda Burger's individual chanpionship, proved again this area's depth among its Division I programs.
St. Ursula finished with 116 points to unseat three-time defer.:cJ. ing champion Bowling Gre-3n (128), despite having no runnm among the top 25 individuals. liz Coorey led the way with a 28th-place finish in 16 minutes, 13 seconds, followed by Camer.)n ' Kurz (39th, 19:26). Teresa Thaler {50th, 19:35), Meghan Shage.ta (51st 19:36) and Shannon Balma: (59th,19:43). "We ran the best team race this progr.un has ever run, one through seven.~ coach Jeff Branhan sa;d. ''We haven't had a front-runner on this team all year. We got first and our first girl was 28th overall. Th~y were so unbelievably packed :<r gether. We came in thinking wf' had a shot to stand on the podium.~ La Salle scored 79 to edge To.edo St. John's (91). Jake Nusekal:el led thewaywithan llth-placefini•h (15:48) and was followed by Kyle Lang (16th. 15:57), Ricky Lu;>p (28th, 16:19), Corey Spriggs {4l3t. 16:31) and Michael lnderh~ (64th, 16:46). The Lancen; won their first state title last season. "It's our senior year and it wa~ a really tough battle," said Nusd:a· bel. v.ilo was one of five !leniors among La Salle's state competitors.

La·ota West senior Amanda Burger edged Oak Hills' Brooklyne Ridder for :he fourth time in six races Saturc<y as she finished in 17:36 to win :l!e Division I girls' cross country indi\i:ll'al title. Ridder was second in 17:58. Last year, Ridder won the title and Burger was third. "I'm really proud and happy with how I finished the season." Burger said. "I wanted to go for my Burger best time and I also wan·ed to win, and I did both. I felt good t'1e whole race." S-~id Ridder: "(Burger} took off The Associated Press/Will Shilling from :h ~ very beginning and got a Brooklyne Ridder of Oak Hills rea II; big lead." came up just short of a state - Jan'Od Ulrey championship repeat.
