The Lady Firebird Cross Country team finished their stellar season not only qualifying for the New York State Championship, but finishing as Long Island’s top performing team. The NSCHSGAA champions and CHSAA third-place finishing team ran to Kellenberg Girl’s all-time five man and seven average at the Bowdoin Park Annual State Meet site. The seven girls competing all ran to personal bests. The team was led by Maureen Lewin’s 19:58, a thirty-second improvement from last year’s good race. Brianna Lausev ran a minute faster than 2016’s Championship Race, running 20:10. Nora Bennett 20:48, and Maya Richardson 20:58, also broke 21:00 on the very challenging 5k course running. Anita Mikowski ran a fierce personal best of 21:45 and Ashley Minns and Claire Burns also ran to personal bests.
