The Rundown



Eighth at the mile. Fifth at two. Second at the finish. Emma’s race plan at the Division 2 Cross Country Finals was among the best in the field, patiently moving up with even splits (5:58, 5:54, 5:59), before sealing the runner-up honor with a blistering final 160m. Not only was she running for herself, she was running for her Bulldog teammates with the hope of a State Championship in mind. The Otsego depth came through, as did Emma. That State Finals race wasn’t the only one in her season, as she was sub-19 on multiple occasions and at major meets.

She didn’t have the immaculate performance on the track as she did during cross, but dang she was consistent, with a multitude of 5:1x’s and 11:1x’s, qualifying for the D2 Finals in each. That’s alright, you can’t knock it out of the park on every single race. But having done it once before at MIS, if there’s anyone in the field that can do it again, I’m betting on Emma.
