TERRE HAUTE — Culver Girls Academy’s Waverly Neer edged out Bloomington South’s Nicole Lucas by .7 of a second to win the 30th annual Girls State Cross Country Championship at the Wabash Valley Sports Center in Terre Haute Saturday.
Neer’s 18:17.5 time earned her a clean sweep of state tournament championships after winning individual titles at both the Culver Academies Sectional and Regional, and her record-breaking 17:53.9 at the New Prairie Semistate last weekend followed up another meet-record finish at regional October 16.
BREMEN — A coach’s expectations can be hard to surpass, but the Bremen girls cross country team did so this fall.
Coach Mick Gardner’s Lions won the Northern State Conference title and went to semi-state as a team, while senior Hope Jordan made it to state as an individual.
“I didn’t think we’d make it that far at the beginning of the year,” Gardner said. “I thought we had a good shot at making it out of the sectional. They surprised me in individual races and in how far we made it as a group. It was a lot of fun.”
