The 4A girls’ race was the first race of the day.
At race time, the temperature was a cold 28 degrees with a slight wind.
Ulysses High School freshman runner, Yessenia Ornelas, qualified as an individual to run in the state meet.
Yessenia finished the 5K (3.1 mile) race in 21:51, earning a 61st place finish out of 100 runners. She ran the pre-state meet at Wamego in early September, finishing the race in 23:20, which means she ran the same course 1 minute and 29 seconds faster at the state meet.
We are very proud of Yessenia for her accomplishments this season and are super excited to have her for the next 3 years.
Thank-you to all who supported our kids throughout the season!
