6A BOYS David Williams of Lawrence and Isaac Allen of Olathe East hooked up in another classic duel at Rimrock, repeating their 1-2 finish from last year. Unlike last year’s lean-at-the-line victory, this time Williams pulled away on the Jim Ryun Skyline with 250 to go. Sophomore Scott Loftin of Blue Valley North made a late rush to almost collar Allen.
Van Rose’s Shawnee Mission Northwest team placed 4 in the top 20 to easily capture their fifth straight title.

6A GIRLS Colleen Winzelar of Blue Valley Northwest (a 4:48 1600 runner) and Amanda Pape of Olathe South (FootLocker finalist) hooked up again, with Winzelar retaining her crown with a late kick on the Jim Ryun Skyline. Twelve of the top 14 runners and team placers 1-2-3-5
came out of the vicious Shawnee Mission Regional. The winning times show how terrible course conditions were.  Shawnee Mission Northwest ran a clutch race, moving hard from the Billy Mills Hill 800 out to the finish, keying on top-ranked Olathe South and #2 SM East, both who had defeated them at the regional.

5A GIRLS: Wichita Carroll dominated the individual and team race in this division. Twins Margaret and Andrea Mohr moved well over the hilly second mile to easily move away from the field, and led Carroll to an overwhelming team win. Once again, course conditions really slowed

3A GIRLS: Perhaps the biggest story in the state was here, as Amy Mortimer of Riley County became, along with Dodie Martin of Stanton Country (see the 2A story) one of two four time state XC champs in KS history. Mortimer, who ran a sub 5:00 mile last spring at the Olathe
Sunflower Classic behind Winzeler, dominated a very tough field. Liz Burke of Leavenworth-Immaculata had placed 2nd in the 6A Sunflower League earlier this year behind Amanda Pape, while running for Leavenworth High (KS rules force combined teams to run separetely at state). Mortimer also led her Riley County team to a repeat title.
