2016 FRESHMAN GIRLS
Seems like forever ago, doesn't it?
2016 should probably go down as the greatest girls cross country season in Kansas history because little ol' Kansas had 25% of the U.S. top-12 in 2016. The trio of Cailie Logue (U.S. #7), Molly Born (U.S. #9) and Emily Venters (U.S. #12) would all end the season nationally ranked in the top-12. Sadly, the three would never face each other simultaneously on Kansas soil, but on October 1, 2016, Logue and Born squared off in tiny Baldwin City for an epic battle. They dropped two national bombs, with Logue winning in 16:45 (U.S. #2 at the time) and Born second in 17:11 (U.S. #5 at the time). You can learn more about this incredible trio here.
Overall, the freshman girls were led by Aimee Davis of Clearwater with a sterling 18:15.10 at NXR, followed by Autumn Princ, Zoey Schillinger, Hannah Burks and Renee Trout.
