Notes:

Several runners set SWC Preview PR’s, including Sam Anderson (-1:12), Nicole Harter (-:08), Lauren Ledek (-:47), Jen Tomasch (-1:12), and Hannah Zapfe (-:31).
Running in the top six the entire race, Sophia tied last year’s result with a 5^th place overall finish.
Lauren Ledek ran a great strategic race the first two miles before picking off 16 runners in front of her the last mile to finish 18^th overall. In doing so, Lauren improved her standing in Westlake’s record books by moving into second place all time in the team’s Top Ten Times at the SWC Preview meet.
First year runner Megan Davis also impressed by finishing third overall for the team in her first ever cross country race. Not only that, but she also entered the team record books with the eighth best time ever run at the Preview meet.
Running close behind Megan, veteran runner and team co-captain Jen Tomasch picked up nine spots over the course of the race to finish with both a meet PR and a spot in the Top Ten Times list with the ninth best time ever run at the Preview meet.
Senior Hannah Zapfe ended the race with her best ever team finish by running eighth overall for the squad.
Alesha Beverly earned a spot on the Varsity team with her fine performance in her first ever high school cross country meet.
Also running their first high school meets were Natalie Halczuk, Haliegh Scherma, Dani Harriger, Katherine Beaton, Katya Howard, and Kelley Koehler.
