Glenbard West Girls Topple No. 15 Minooka
Girls individual champion Lindsey Payne, No. 22 in the pre-season rankings, also defended her title here, as she ran 17:11 for the win. The time was not quite as impressive as her 16:40 run last year, but she said after the race that the course was muddy after a rainy week. What was impressive was the overall team effort by her Glenbard West team: freshman Katelynne Hart was third in 17:28, sophomore Katie Hohe was sixth in 17:55.8 and Chloe Connolly and Janie Nabholz rounded out the scoring pack by finishing 17th and 18th in 18:45.3.
The Glenbard West girls scored 43 points to edge No. 15 ranked Minooka, who scored 59 points. Minooka placed three girls in the top five and No. 4 was 12th, but No. 5 Emily Ellis scored 36 points and ran 2 minutes behind No. 1 Ashley Tutt, who ran 17:20.2 for second.
Glenbard West was unranked in the pre-season.
