On Oct. 5, the girls cross-country team participated in the Mid-Southern Conference meet in Salem. The overall team placed seventh out of the eight complete teams that competed in conference. Lyndie Foster (12) made All-American Conference with her 14th place finish. It had some individual wins.
“Although our team didn’t place how we wanted it to, we did well as individuals. There was a lot of PR’s during that time,” Clarah Fettig said.
The girls cross-country team attended the IHSAA Boys and Girls Cross-Country sectionals on Oct. 12 at Southwestern High School in Hanover. The cooler weather provided good conditions to run in. That morning, the temperature was around 40 degrees, but by the time the race started, it increased around 15 degrees. On Oct. 18, regionals were held at Columbus North High School. On the girls team, Foster missed the school record by two seconds with a personal record of 21:42.9 and Fettig PRd over a minute.
“I really wanted to break 23 minutes by the end of the season. I knew it was going to be my last race of the season so I really wanted to make it count,” Fettig said.
