North Wood runner headed to state meet

By Brent Glasgow Editor FORT WAYNE - The season might have ended for most of the North Wood girls cross country team, but the biggest race of the year remains for one Panther. In its first-ever semistate appearance, North Wood placed 13th out of 20 teams at The Plex Saturday, well out of the top-five finish needed to move on to state as a team. With the quality of the field, that result was expected, and didn't disappoint North Wood coach Melissa Wyatt. "Being here is what we hoped would happen a long time ago but thought might be a pipedream," Wyatt said. "They made it happen. They worked, put the miles in during the summer, pushed themselves all season and came together as a team." Despite the team result, North Wood junior Cynthia Medina will compete at the state meet in Terre Haute.

with a time of 20:18. "Being my senior year, my goal was to make it to semistate because last year I made it to regionals and got 20th," Roe said. "So my goal was to get here, and us making it together showed all the work really paid off." Finishing behind Roe were junior Karlie Kratzchman in 96th (21:30), junior Layla Rhodes in 104th (21:48) and sophomore Brittany Grove in 120th (22:36). Wyatt and her squad will now cheer on Medina in this Saturday's state championship race. "To get to take (Medina) there and for that to be the culmination of our season, that's what you hope will happen," Wyatt said. "We knew the team getting through was a long shot, but for her to get to compete at that level as a junior and get that experience will be great for her. I expect her to get top 25 at least, hopefully top 10."
