The WNHS girl's cross country team utilized depth and teamwork to finish 4th overall at the Chuck Schlemmer Memorial Invite. On a day when a couple top runners struggled with illness it was the girls around them that stepped up and helped carry the team to their goal of a podium finish. Over 150 girls represented by 27 teams battled it out on our home course. The Lady Chargers were led by freshman Karla Dominguez with an impressive 5th place finish in 20:16. Senior Trinity Parson made it a great 1-2 punch by taking 12th place in 20:35. A pack led by Monet Bieberich (33rd, 21:42), Lynden Chordas (34th, 21:43), and Victoria Mendoza (40th, 21:52) rounded out the varsity scoring five. Junior Rylea Shepherd was a podium finisher in the JV race via her 7th place finish in 23:55. The West Noble boys team took home an impressive 2nd place team finish on Saturday.
