In the girls race, Perham Senior Maddie McClellan took first place honors with a time of 15:11. Pacing the Cowgirls was Kelsey Dahlgren, followed closely by Kacey Herder, Megan Hansen, and Jacie Jawaski, Emily Hendrickson, Regan Whitney and Blaire Lindberg rounded out the placing for the Cowgirls.
“We knew coming in that Perham was very talented," head coach Randy Berndt said. "We talked about running our own races and shooting for our season best. The girls responded tremendously, with big chunks of time knocked off their times. They left it all out on the course, which is all I could ask."

“Mark and I visited about what he wanted to accomplish, and he did it, running his best time of the season, just missing the 20 minute mark by one second,” coach Berndt said.
