Jessica Ackerman was New Trier’s top runner finishing the three-mile course in 17 minutes, 15 seconds to take third place, but it was the Trevians’ depth that made the big difference. Mimi Smith (4^th, 17:16), Courtney Ackerman (5^th, 17:34), Julie Jackson (10^th, 18:02) and Molly Krueger (11^th, 18:02) gave the Trevians five of the first 11 finishers. Lockport was the only other high school to place more than one runner in the top 10.

Alana Peters was the runner-up in the No. 2 singles spot, losing to Lake Forest’s Megan Morris 4-6, 6-2, 7-5
