Congratulations to Lizzy Jurries for her performance at the State Championships on Saturday at Oak Hills Golf Course in Jefferson City, MO. Lizzy ran a 22:10 in a fast, furious race. Just to reiterate how fast our CC Sectional is - the 4 teams representing our Sectional placed int eh top 6 of 16 teams! Just MAKING it to State is a HUGE feat and we are so proud of Lizzy and ALL of our girls this season. Lizzy was the 12th freshman overall and 1 of 11 freshman who qualified for State on her own (not on one of the 16 teams represented). These are all amazing accomplishments. It was a bit hotter than normal and Lizzy did a great job hydrating and staying strong after a blazing 6:10 1st mile (!). Many of you knew that Lizzy was struck with the dreaded flu bug on Wednesday and missed school Thursday with a fever so we are thrilled she could perform this great just 1 day out of that. Way to go Lizzy! Thanks to all the girls who came along to cheer her on: Karlie, Kierstie, Elle, Kelly, Miranda Norfleet, Jane, DeDe, Audrey, Hanna and Rachel. We all had a great time!
