2018 Girls Cross Country Finalists

Kennedy Bauer

The Semoball Awards finalist carried a much bigger load than she did a year ago, the junior handled greater responsibility by winning a conference gold and finishing second at the district meet. She then wrapped up her season with an 18th-place result at Class 4 state. Bauer’s season-best time was the best of all the finalists at 19:29.03.

Alaina Baumgart

Baumgart put a bow on her high school running career by earning herself another Semoball Awards nomination. The senior defended home course by winning the Notre Dame Invitational and finished second at the conference meet. Baumgart’s best time of the season came in at 19:48.30. She finished 14th at the Class 3 state championship race.

Corin Carroll

This three-sport athlete helped lead the Indians to continued success on the cross country course. She showed her ability with a second-place run at the district meet, where she posted a season-best mark of 20:37.18. Carroll then went on to finish 15th at the Class 2 state race, crossing the line in 20:54.09.

Jennifer Morey

A small school standout, the senior wrapped up her high school career in the right way — a very strong performance at the Class 1 state championship meet. It was there that Morey ran a 21:09.61 — her best time of the year — to finish fourth among all female runners. Morey also won a district gold.

Katie Sliger

The Mules senior leader left it all out on the course to finish up her cross country career.
