Girls Green Division Preview

With extremely hot weather lately in landlocked Austin, B Miles and Jimmy begin to start wishing they lived closer to water to cool off as they look at the top national meets on tap located around some of the greatest bodies of water in the United States. 

Seven of the state’s top 10 teams, and even more out-of-state powers, created a loaded lined up at the start of boys’ Green Division of the 2014 Forest Park XC Festival Saturday.

Eureka senior Hannah Long ran away with Saturday’s Forest Park XC Festival title, book-ending where she began her phenomenal cross country prep career.

 Sandwiched around a second-place finish by Owasso’s (OK) Haley Geisler, two Missouri freshmen girls battled for the Forest Park XC Festival White Division crown.
