[November 04, 2019]    Congratulations to Becca Heitzig and Mallory Short of West Lincoln-Broadwell. Both athletes ran in the Girls Class 1A State Cross-Country Meet at Maxwell Park in Normal on October 19, 2019.

Becca and Mallory
 

Heitzig, an eighth grader, finished in 2nd place with a personal record time of 11:49.3. Last year Heitzig also finished in 2nd place as a seventh grader. Her time in 2018 was 11:59.3.

Short, a seventh grader, did not medal but finished with a time of 14.33.2

It’s worth mentioning that 228 runners participated in the state event. For Heitzig to finish in 2nd place in back-to-back state runs is an amazing feat!

Without a doubt these girls have an incredible Cross-Country career ahead of them.
