Lafayette (Wildwood)
senior Grace Tyson repeated as the champion in the Class 5 girls race
- becoming the first girl to do so, though the classification is
only three years old.
Tyson is the first
girl to repeat in MSHSAA's largest classification since Hannah Long of Eureka won the 2013-14 titles.
Tyson, an Indiana commit, didn't lose a race this year but she only ran in four races due to
a foot injury suffered while winning the Forest Park XC Invitational
on Sept. 10.
She's been out
since but returned to win the individual title, one of three Lancers
in the top five - which paved the way for the team championship.
"I'm so proud of
my team for getting me here; I didn't even race in districts,"
Tyson said. "My foot is not 100 percent right now but I needed to
come back and I'm so happy today and I'm so proud of these
girls."
Tyson ran 18:10.6 to
win, hold...
