2012 Season Recap

The girls’ cross country team was paced by senior Abby Pongracz and freshman Emily Barron.  Pongracz earned All-Marion County and All-Sectional honors, as well as an honorable mention spot on the IATCCC (Indiana Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches) Academic All-State team.  Pongracz finished her career with the fourth-fastest senior time in program history.  Barron established a new freshman 5K record and ran the fifth-fastest time (all classes) in program history at the Bedford North Lawrence Invite.  She earned All-Sectional and All-Regional honors and became just the third runner in program history to qualify for the semi-state as an individual.  The varsity quintet of Pongracz, Barron, sophomore Kaleigh Wilham, junior Kaitlin Owens and sophomore Makenzie Quinn combined at the Flashrock Invitational to run the eighth-best combined top-five average in program history.  The team placed fifth in the sectional and sixth in the regional, where it posted the program’s fourth-best regional score.
