Two for Two! The Plainwell Varsity Girls Cross Country team won their second invitational of the season last night at the Three Rivers Big Hill Invitational. The Trojans placed their top 7 runners in the top 24 overall to score 45 points to beat the other 15 teams. Leading the way for the Trojans (and finishing 3rd overall) was senior Claire Vos, with Emma Taggett, Josie Longcore, Mai Nguyen, Hannah Erlandson, Alayna Ranney and Gwen Todd rounding out the Trojans’ top seven.
In the JV race, freshman Molly Bruggink started her PXC career off with a race victory, while running fast enough to win a seventh place freshman medal against the varsity times.
The ladies hope to continue their early season excellence on the XC course on Friday evening at the GR South Christian Under the Lights Invitational. GO TROJANS!
