Over 100 girls ran in the meet. In the Group 3 Central jersey Sectionals, the team took 5th place. ln 11 undefeated dual meets this season, their average point score was 18, while their opponents averaged more than 40. Last year's school record of 12:11 for 1.9 miles was broken 3 times this year. First by Sharon White at 11:44, then by Laurie Barg at 11:43. Finally, with an outstanding run at Franklin Township, White captured the record with a time of11:42.
