Repeat Performance

Congratulatoins to the EHS Girls X-C on their Sectional Championship performance at the I.H.S.A. Centralia Sectional.

The title marks the second consecutive title for the girls and the second in school history. The win nets them a 3rd consecutive appearance at the I.H.S.A. State Championships.

Super Soph Courtney Smith dazzled the crowd by giving an instant replay of her victory in last weeks Regional. She was again followed by Liz Speicher for her second consecutive second place showing. Try saying that three times fast :) Lauren Heidbrink off her Conference Championship from a few weeks ago came in at 6th to earn All Sectional Honors as well. Kaci Smith and Lia Saunders rounded out the scoring.

The Tigers will be headed to Detweiller Park next week at full strength as Courtney Smith, Speicher, Heidbrink, Kaci Smith, Saunders, Leah Bateman, and Kristin Hodge will all be in the lineup together for the first time since the Centralia Invitational.

Enjoy the title ladies, and good luck next week as we say a fond farewell to our two seniors Lauren Heidbrink and Leah Bateman in their final time in the Tiger jersey. Run your "tails" off for them.
