On the girls side, Jessie Rose finished eighth overall with a 18:12.2 mark in the 5K to lead the squad to a fifth place finish. Also running were Morgan Falkowski, Nina Rodgers, Kaitlin Ryan, Sierra Read, Sydney Schaefgen and Hannah Williams. This marked the 14th time the girls have placed at State.
