Mt. Vernon dominated the Delta Invite Saturday, scoring all their team points with five straight finishers after Delta’s Nicki Southerland (17:43) and Leo’s Rowyn Norris (18:50) crossed the finish line in an event that served as a warm-up for next year’s new-look cross country sectional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preparing for an unfamiliar sectional course for the first time in some three decades, coach Carl Risch’s team had a great day, finishing fourth and beating the host Eagles, along with rival Norwell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leading the Braves was Bre Feasel in 26th place with a time of 22:23.90. She finished just three seconds ahead of senior Keeley Carpenter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Norwell was led by Mariah Kline, who was neck and neck with Feasel and Carpenter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local runners will return to the Delta course for next Saturday’s sectional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
