Coach Scott Anderson

The Lacrosse Central Girls cross-country team traveled to Wausau on Saturday and to Holmen on Tuesday.
At the Smiley Invite in Wausau the varsity ran a strong team race placing 3rd overall out of 25 teams.  They were led by a very tight top 3, Abby Knutson, Miranda Sanchez, and Morgan Sanger only 3 seconds apart.  Running very good times of 15:54, 15:56, and 15:57 respectively.  They were followed by Kayla Guepfer, Megan Baumler, Violet Weibel, and Marissa Fellenz.  We see were we need to improve but these young ladies are making Central proud in their work ethic and desire to compete.

 
Annie Waniger ran an outstanding race at Wausau in the JV race.  This young lady worked her way up from about 20th place at the mile to just getting beat at the finish line by .01 seconds for the JV champion.  Great Race Sunshine.  She was followed by a very strong performance from the following ladies.  Anneliis Sartin-Tarn in 18:12, Devin Edge in 18:36, Ella Overholt in 18:44, and Kelly Fitapatrick in 18:47.  Congratulations ladies on and excelllent race.
