Glenvar’s top finished was freshman Becky Linkous who finished 43rd among 103 girls in the race with a time of 22:01. The winning time was 18:41 by Mary Caroline Heinen of Maggie Walker.

Senior Kailee Sesler finished 70th overall for the Highlanders and also scoring were Madison Osburn, Isabelle Pope and Alyssa Meadows. Dominga Ortega also competed for Glenvar.

Miller ran a time of 15:40 to win the race by 22 seconds over Oliver Wilson-Cook of Robert E. Lee of Staunton High. Will’s time was the fourth fastest out of all the runners in all six classifications and he improved his time on the Great Meadows course by 31 seconds after last year’s winning time of 16:11.
