Clare Flanagan - The Blake School
NORTHFIELD, Minn. - It was a strong field at the State Girl's Class-A cross country race at St. Olaf's but there was a clear favorite in sophomore Clare Flanagan, of the Blake School.
As expected, Flanagan pulled away from the field down the stretch to win by 13 seconds. The sophomore finished with a time of 14 minutes 22 seconds, which was almost 40 seconds faster than she ran on this same course a year ago.
Flanagan was ranked number-one in Class-A virtually the entire season and has lived up to those expectations.
