  Jean Coleman opened an early lead ... after 2400m, she was 10m
  in front of Alyssa Lotmore who was nearly 40m ahead of eventual
  winner Tracey Brauksieck.  At 3000m, Lotmore had the lead from
  Coleman with Brauksieck beginning to close the margin ...
  Brauksieck took the lead with just over a mile to go and
  extended the lead all the way to the finish in an outstanding
  effort!  Tracey was not fully extended, and finished with
  something in reserve which is remarkable considering her lack
  of recent races ... and considering that she ran her final
  mile in approximately 5:24.  Lauren Noble ran a very good even
  race and finished with a good time ... in addition, she bested
  Heather Iatauro who beat her in the State Class D Championship
  Race last fall at SUNY Utica Tech.

  split:  400m - 65.9

 Adanna Andrews controlled much of the race and finished all out
 to win the gold medal.  Melissa Usack (Lansing HS) stayed close
 throughout, moved into silver medal position and raced very
 gamely ... I believe this was her PR ... Melissa is showing
 improvement every season she competes ... currently, she is
 the only female varsity XC runner at Lansing (despites their
 outstanding track team).
