Meet

Congratulations to Kate Hanson on being crowned
Minnesota State High School Champion!!!
Kate dominated the field to win by over 1.5 seconds at
Giant’s Ridge on Wednesday. This is quite an accomplishment and one that is
well deserved.

Also on the podium was Peter Baker, who finished
3rd on the boy’s side. Peter put together two very strong runs and missed
winning by less than a second. Wow!!! It was almost a Team Afton
sweep!!!
|
In addition to Kate and Peter, there were a few other
Team Afton athletes who finished in the top 15. Juliana Damberg missed
the podium by less than a half second, finishing 4th for the girls.
Also on the girl’s side, Ingrid Foslien finished 8th and
Berit Thorson wound up in 14th. Way to go,
ladies!

With her win, Kate is now the 8th Team Afton
athlete since the year 2000 to win a state title.
