Mountain Lake Area, paced by individual state-qualifier Kyle
Blomgren (13th, 17:56) finished a distant fifth with 223 points, followed by
Murray County Central/Fulda (231), Lac qui Parle Valley/Dawson-Boyd (237),
Pipestone Area (250), Springfield/Cedar Mountain (266), Yellow Medicine East
(266), Windom (266), Tracy-Milroy-Balaton (270), MACCRAY/Renville County West
(278), BOLD (312) and Jackson County Central (323).
Blomgren, the Red Rock Conference champion, put the capper
on a stellar career for the Wolverines, as the senior benefitted from the new
rule change this year —allowing the first eight finishers (not on one of the
top two teams) to advance.

Mountain Lake Area, paced by individual state-meet
qualifiers Whitney Klassen and Liana Blomgren, also made a strong bid for a
state-meet team berth as the Wolverines were a solid fifth with 103 points.
Blomgren, just an eighth-grader, qualified for her first
state meet as the eighth non-state team individual (14th overall), clocked at
16:04.
