“It was a really warm day for running, so we didn’t see a lot of PRs,” said Border West Head Coach Brittany Erickson. “I thought Julia Schmidt ran a really smooth race for about three-quarters and then she got tight. She closed the gap between the first and second pack at the first mile, moving from sixth to second. With about 500 meters left, a Little Falls runner and a New York Mills runner edged her out so she finished fourth.”
