Paige Ward won the JV Girls 1A/2A race over the weekend, at the Disney Cross-Country Classic presented by New Balance, finishing in 21 minutes, 32 seconds — leading the Green Wave to a third-place finish and a Mickey Trophy.
The top seven finished are as follows: Adrienne Yargan (15th, 24:08), Annie Morejon (18th, 24:27), Lauren Fox (19th, 24:29), Megan Wilson (27th, 25:13), Madeline Muscante (42nd, 26:01) and Emma McAskill (44th, 26:09).
The Father Lopez girls cross-country team has won five trophies this season, and this was the biggest invitational win ever for the team, said coach Suzanne O’Malley. It was also Ward’s first overall win. The team has also finished in the top five in seven straight invitational races this season.
The boys team finished fourth in the same race, making it the highest Disney finish ever. The team has finished in the top 10 in seven straight invitationals.
Nick Theriault led the team for the third time this season, finishing ninth overall, in 18:51.
The rest of the top seven finished as follows: Kevin Schreiber (11th, 19:02), Chase Massi (32nd, 20:06), Connor Nyborg (41st, 20:16), Jackson Bush (43rd, 20:19), Andy Ufheil (51st, 20:38) and Patrick Bowler (93rd, 22:13).
