On Saturday, the Ram Girls' Cross-Country Team raced to a historic runner-up finish in the Class 4A race at the state cross-country meet in Ft. Dodge, IA.

Freshman Lillian Schmidt turned in an inspired performance as she cracked the top-20, finishing 18th overall. Junior Ashley Donovan raced to a fantastic 21st place finish and senior star Mackenzie Gaherty crossed the line in 37th. Senior Ava Frye surged to a 55th place finish to seal the 2nd place finish for the Rams. Freshman Izzy Gorton (89th) and Junior Olivia Kruse (109th) also raced well, finishing ahead of many schools' scoring racers.
