In the women's 6 kilometer race, Gogebic's Kari Strand placed 23rd out of 60 runners in an impressive 26 minutes and 24 seconds. "I was real proud of how well we did as a team against this strong field" said Coach Will Andresen, noting that Gogebic's top five runners in the men's field all finished under 31 minutes, with only 28 seconds separating them. "I was even more impressed with the fact that seven of our runners had personal best times. They really flew today. Their hard work and dedication is definitely paying off." |
