Cross-country runner Audrey Shelton made three consecutive trips to the State Cross-Country Meet and this year bettered her finish bringing home a sixth place medal.
Shelton’s time for the two-mile course in Round Rock was 12:16.62. A runner from Quanah won the race with a time of 11:54.
The high school senior has had a great career as a runner for the Lady Broncos, and hopes to continue her sport at the college level. Shelton bettered her placing and times each year at the state contest. Head coach Molly Weatherred had nothing but praise for Shelton.
“Audrey ran a great race Saturday,” Weatherred said. “She was in the leading pack the entire race and it came down to about a 200-meter race at the end to separate them out. We were hoping she could get into the top 10, but we knew it would be a challenge. She was ready for the challenge and ran one of her fastest times all year.”
