Thornton Fractional North: 223 11. Solorio: 252 12. Nazareth: 279 6 others • We’re going to State!!! 3rd straight year! • Mile and 2 mile splits highly suspect—I do not believe we ran nearly this slow the 3rd mile • We had the 3rd fastest 5th man, 2nd fastest 6th man, and the 3rd best 1-5 runner splits in the meet! • All obviously helped, but special mention to Brett, for running well after falling after the mile, and Charles, who ran his best race ever. Without either of these performances, we are in danger of not qualifying!
