Ana Dunfee competed in the State Meet for Cross Country on Saturday in the blustery wind. In spite of the conditions, she destroyed the course. She got slightly boxed in during the first mile but that saved her from going out too fast and fighting the wind. When the course turned into the second mile, she moved through the field with the wind at her back, coming through the halfway point in 40th. By the time she had 1km to go, she was 27th. In the homestretch she got passed by two runners but got them back and then some. She finished 25th overall with a new personal best time of 18:52 and All-State honors. Please congratulate her on an amazing race. All cross country runners need to return their uniform to Coach Schmidt in K16. Awards will be Tuesday, November 15th at KNAC downtown at 7pm.
