Placer United Girls Finish Strong in Cross Country Event

Posted On October 28, 2011 by PUSC

A couple of weeks ago, six Placer United girls participated in the Western Placer County Area Cross-Country Finals. The race included fourteen middle schools who sent their quickest seven runners to compete in the 8th Grade Championship; a total of roughly 100 participants.

The venue was William Jessup University where the runners had to deal with a hilly 1.5 mile course. Pictured Left to Right are; – Faith Holloway (U14G Premier), Claire Norris (U14G Premier), Maggie Bell (U14G Elite), Sydney Ladrech (U14G Premier), Megan Kuo (U13G Elite) and Sierra Gosting (U14G Premier).

Maggie Bell was the race winner, with Sierra Gosting finishing in 2nd. However, all Placer United girls finished in the TOP 10 which is a remarkable effort!

Well done girls!
