Hilton won with a super team race ... Hilton took a big early lead at the 1K mark (61 points) and maintained consistency throughout the remainder of the race (team score in the 80s) - Amanda Griggs ran well as did all the Hilton scorers which was the precursor of an expected Hilton victory (Shelby Herman and Ashley Jones ran very well as the #4 and #5 runners) ... Hilton Coach Mike Szczepanik did an excellent job in preparing the team - his choice to skip the NY Federation Meet paid off with a National Championship. The Saratoga girls missed out on back to back championships but still held on to 2nd place. Hilton started out strong and stayed consistent through the rest of the race to take the title by 27 points, 85-112. Carroll from Southlake Texas was a surprise 3rd with 123 points and Naperville North (Where, according to the introductions, they get up early and milk cows) was 4th with 133 points. Hilton jumped out fast after 1K with three in the top ten and had a whopping 77 point lead over Yankton, SD. Saratoga moved up into 2nd place after 2K but were still behind Hilton by 36. Saratoga closed the gap to 27 points after 3K but couldn't get it any closer as Hilton stayed strong and didn't fade after their fast start. Saratoga was lead by Lindsay Ferguson's 5th place finish in 19:50.4 and Hannah Davidson in 7th in 20:10.4> ran a good race ... The difference at NTN was that Hilton was able to place three runners in the top 13 finishers while Saratoga's 3rd finisher was 30th (and Hilton's 4th was 19th).
