The Fergus Falls Girls’ Cross Country team ran on a challenging course at the Detroit Country Club in Detroit Lakes on Thursday, placing fifth out of eight teams in the varsity race and second of 5 teams in the Junior High race.

 

Naomi Dummer led the varsity with a top 20 finish, followed by Julia Anderson, Sarah Grotberg, Ainsley Hansen, Rebecca Schinder, in the top 5 scoring spots.  Hannah Scharnberg and Ellia Soydara completed the Varsity Roster.  “Julia, Hannah and Ellia all finished with season bests near a full minute,” commented Head Coach Niki Welde of the Otters.  “I am really excited with how this team is coming together.” 

The Otters had 4 top 20 finishers in the JV race, Sonja Lahti, Miah Schmidt, Ali McClain, and Aleah Mouser.  In that group Sonja Lahti ran a season best time.
