O'fallon Meet August 29th

There was no team scoring at this meet. However, the EHS girls ran well as a team and individual efforts were fantastic! Keep up the hard work girls.

In her first high school race freshman Ariane Wright finished in sencond place individually. She ran with guts going out stride for stride with Maria Effinger of Belleville East. Great job Ariane, you hung with the top runner in the area for the majority of the race and still were able to finish strong!

Senior Emily Firsching ran a strong race. Her increased mileage and hard work is paying off.

Junior Alex Wever got out strong and fought her way through the middle and end of the race finishing sixth overall and second on her team. Great Job Alex!
