Girls Varsity - State Qualifer, Emma Wilhelm
Emma Wilhelm turned in the top performance of the day by crossing the finish line in 4th place overall and lowering her Colorado PR to 18:14. This not only earned her an individual qualifier spot in the State Championship meet, but it also gave her the distinction of being the only runner in the race to break through the juggernaut of No. 2-nationally ranked Air Academy's top 6 runners. Well done, Emma!
