Pekin girls place third at State cross country meet

FORT DODGE- The Pekin Panthers girls cross country team had another terrific showing at the State cross country meet, placing third place behind only Hudson and the 1A State champion Central, Elkader. Their mix of experience and youth have been a key that has helped propel the Panthers into being one of the best 1A cross country girls teams all season long.

            The girls finishes with the individual runners factored out, and only team qualified runners factored in, were as follows; Remi Duwa ran magnificent in her first State meet finishing sixth out of team qualified runners. Shea Dahlstom was 16th, Emilee Linder finished 24th. Zoey Wright took 37th, Kelly Myers was close behind, finishing 41st. Hunter Lock took 55th place and Mackenzie Martin, the other Senior runner besides Dahlstrom they will be losing, finished in 74th amongst qualifying team runners.

            As a team the girls finished with an overall time of 1:46:52.4, a mere half minute behind second place Hudson. Pekin edged out Marquette Catholic, who took fourth place, by a little over 50 seconds. Central, Elkador had no troubles for the most part with five runners in the top 21 without individual runners factored in, but Pekin really left their mark once again.
