Katherine has won all nine meets she has raced in this season. Crookston’s Emily Gillette finished 25th place with a time of 24:19. “Katherine ran a great time and won the girls Conference championship. This was her ninth race she has won in a row! Quite an impressive streak. Warroad is a favorite course for many of the runners,” said East Grand Forks Coach Kirk Misialek.
“Emily set a season personal best and ran her best race of the season. I was proud of her effort.”
