Individual Championship Race - Girls
Adrianna Katcher of Center Point-Urbana High School won the
3A Individual title as a freshman. She will be the favorite to defend her State title again this year. Julia Schumacher will represent powerhouse Assumption
High school. Julia finished 3rd last year and will be one of the
favorites to end up top of the podium, fighting for that lead spot with Katcher. Sophia Gilbert of Benton Community High
School and Raegan Andersen of Denison-Schleswig High School are other returners
that will play a big factor in the individual race.
Team Champs - Girls
Decorah High School pulled off the team title with a score
of 102 points, followed by Pella with a score of 106.
Decorah High School had 3 seniors from their championship team. Pella will have
to replace 4 of their top 7 runners as they look to fight for that team title this year. Dubuque Wahlert High School placed 5th place as a team in
2016 and did not graduate any of their top 7, certainly making them one of the favorites to the team championship at Fort Dodge this year.
