Laker Girls finish 6th
at
Benzie Invitational
August 27, 2011The Bear Lake
girls finished with 165 points while North Muskegon won (28), Grand
Traverse Academy was second (62) and Traverse City St. Francis third
(99).
“I thought all the girls ran good
times today,” said Bear Lake coach Eric Ross. “They all improved
dramatically.”
Freshman Keena Gilbert led the way
with a 15th-place finish in 21:20, while freshman McKaya Groenwald
(20th, 21:53) and sophomore Kelly Babcock (28th, 22:42) also medaled.
Freshman Meredith Hengy (54th, 24:05), freshman Alyson Fink (89th,
26:10) and junior Taylor Anderson (101st, 26:54) rounded out the team.
“Keena Gilbert stepped up today,
there’s no question,” Ross said. “Kelly Babcock cut three minutes off
her last race, Meredith cut a minute, Keena cut a minute, plus McKaya
cut 40 seconds. If they do that every meet, they’ll be pretty good by
the end of the year. I have no complaints whatsoever in the way they
ran.” Senior Jaylee Brown is nursing a back injury and ran in the JV
race as a low-pressure tune up.
