Minnesota State Cross-Country Meet Coverage

November 5, 2005

Surprisingly, the 2005 Minnesota State High School Cross-Country Championships on Saturday in Northfield ran true to the final rankings. Winona's Elliot Heath put in a finishing stretch kick to pull away from TC Lumbar, Edina, for the Boys AA crown. Tim Branigan of Roseville was third, completing the trifecta. Lakeville North's Elizabeth Yetzer maintained control of the girls field throughout, easily capturing the victory, with Hanna Grinaker, Detroit Lakes, second and Brooke Wyffels, Marshall, third -- again matching the final poll standings. The team titles in AA went to the Willmar boys and Lakeville North girls. In class A, Bria Wetsch and Mike Torchia took the individual titles while team titles went to Adrian girls and St. Cloud Cathedral boys. Over 300 photos posted from the AA races.
