Lady Broncos capture 5th at state

By Sandy Anderberg

The Lady Bronco cross-country team has run a whole lot of miles this season in cross-country, which climaxed last week in Round Rock for the State Cross-Country meet.  They ran in horrible weather conditions and finished fifth in the meet.

Repeat state-qualifier Audrey Shelton led the Lady Bronco pack in a time of 13:12, which was good enough for 21st place.  Abby Johnson finished 50th at 13:52 and Sarah Luttrell was 52nd with a time of 13:54.  Haley Ferguson was 53rd at 13:55, Phara Berry came in at 14:06 that was good enough for 62nd, and Deborah Howard ran the two-mile course in a time of 14:35 and finished 79th.

Coach Molly Weatherred was pleased with the ladies’ effort all season long.  “We had a great season,” she said.  “The girls worked extremely hard, and I am very proud of them.  They competed well, and we all look forward to next season.”
