The Roar would like to recognize freshman Kelly Mogensen for receiving a medal at the Third Battle cross country meet at Millbrook High School this past Saturday. Mogensen placed in the top 20 for the girls’ varsity race with a time of 19:20, nearly two minutes faster than her times at the beginning of the season.

“We weren’t surprised. She is extremely talented, but she hasn’t faced great competition until recently. All she does is go out there and try to please, and it paid off this weekend,” said cross country coach Mr. Dolph Null.

“During the whole race, I was pretty surprised because it was the first race I was able to keep pace with our best female runner,” said Mogensen.

Congratulations to Kelly Mogensen on improving her time and leading the lady Panthers.
