Running her fastest time of the season Saturday on a hilly golf course at Wamego, Julia Nightengale finished her Goessel career by placing 28th out of 93 runners at the 2A state cross-country meet.

Her time of 22 minutes, 32 seconds was more than 30 seconds faster than her previous season best. Nightengale’s time was 11 seconds faster than at last year’s 1A state meet.

“She knew this was her last race and the one she would remember, and she didn’t want anything left when she was done,” coach Brian Lightner said.
