The lead changed hands several times but with about 300 meters Anna wrestled the lead away from the others by the slimmest of margins.

LODI RUNNERS MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

In a truly unforgettable meet the Lodi boy's and girl's took the lead in the conference standings with critical wins at Marshall. The boy's depth was too much for other Capitol North teams to contend with as they came away 31 points ahead of their nearest competitor. Michael Phillips led the way for Lodi finishing 3rd in 17:06.

Team scores Lodi 43 Columbus 74 Poynette 75 Lakeside Lutheran 82 Lake Mills 93 Luther Prep 156.

While the boy's won easily the girl's race proved to be something entirely different. Lodi's top three ran very well as expected. Sydeney Endres gave a tremendous effort to put us in a good position but Lakeside and Luther Prep put all seven runners in before our 5th so it looked like Lodi had little chance of winning. Chelsea Buchanon kept working throughout the race. She finished 36th, one second in front of the 37th girl. When they read off the team scores and they said Prep was third with 65 points the Lodi runner's, parents and coaches were shocked. When they said Lakeside was second with 63 they were stunned and when they said Lodi was first with 62 points they were in a state of disbelief which turned in to elation. This was not just a Lodi girl's victory, it was a Lodi victory. Everyone who was there made a difference. There were also people who weren't there who had a tremendous impact on that race. People often say that every second counts and Chelsea beating that girl by a second was truly important. However the race was even closer than that. Annalise Cramer finished 2/10th's of a second ahead of the 6th place girl.

Mikey Bogdanske 1st 15:59, Annaliese Cramer 5th 16:33.4, Melissa Kohlhagen 7th 16:38, Sydney Endres 13th 17:27, Chesea Buchanan 19:07, 39th Shannon Grover 19:32 and Paige Nichols 42nd in 21:03.

Lodi 62 Lakeside Lutheran 63 Watertown Luther Prep 65 Poynette 86 Lake Mills 92 Columbus 120.
