Jeanne Mack
Jeanne Mack won the Varsity ``D'' race with her time of 14:56, becoming the first La Salle runner ever to do so.
Teammate Jean Christensen was right behind her, placing second in 14:57, pacing the Rams to a second-place team finish.
It was the best performance for a La Salle running team in 23 years.
``I knew by looking at last year's results and calculating mile times that Jeanne and Jean had an opportunity to do well,'' said Rams coach Kelly Martin. ``I figured that they would be in the top five with a chance to win. The team did so amazing, they surpassed my expectations as a coach. I am so proud of all of them.''
