Girls' Cross Country

2007 Lady Rebels Review

The 2007 season was a record year for the Roncalli girls’ cross country program. Though new records were established as a result of lengthening the official race distance for girls from 4000 meters to 5000, a review of performances indicates that the Lady Rebel squad competed at an all-time high level and records would have fallen regardless.

Senior Elissa Mason set the bar high for the new course distance by establishing a school record for the 5K at 18:50.4. Mason was backed by a strong contingent of varsity runners, including veteran Lauren Bourne and newcomer Sara Foresman who were consistently top finishers for the team as well. Along with Bourne, Olivia Jahnke, Nicole Wolters, Ally Marshall and Hannah Barker all stepped up with noteworthy improvements in personal bests over the previous season. Lauren Ezell and Lily Watson were also key to team scoring.

The squad’s best team average time of 20:27 topped the comparable 4K record for Roncalli girls. The team also achieved a season goal of advancing in the state series to semi-state competition, a first for the Lady Rebels since 1998. Elissa Mason continued the run of success by battling intense competition at the semi-state to emerge as a state meet qualifier. With an impressive run at the state meet, Elissa earned All State recognition and a spot on the Indiana All Star Team for her 24th place individual finish.
