State of the Action

On a deceptively hot Friday night, some athletes were feeling the heat.  State Leader Kelsey Chmiel led from the gun, but began to fade at the halfway mark.  Jessica Lawson and Katherine Lee powered by, and began battling for the lead.  Lee was able to respond to Lawson's kick, but unable to overtake.  Lawson takes her third Spring 3k title on her third attempt.  Ella Ketchum is the only D2 girl under 10mins, leading her to a win.
