Sister teammates
Melinda, Nicole and Danielle Zirbel from Summit
offer each other some congratulations after the
State B Girls race. Melinda took first place in
the race with a time of 15:44. Nicole came
across the line in 2nd and Danielle placed 5th.
Melinda also set the state record in the 2 mile
earlier this season. The entire six girl team
from Summit is comprised of Zirbel cousins or
sisters. The sisters' 12th sibling was born
earlier in season(8 girls, 4 boys in the
family). So far, they are the only runners. |
The Class B Girls Race is underway.
Teams arrived at the Elks Friday afternoon for
warm-up running, course surveying and souvenir
shopping as participants purchased state jerseys to
mark their participation in the event. Runners were
scheduled from 3- 7p.m. for on-site preparation.

Wakonda's sole female qualifier,
Ashley Logue, said "It's pretty cool being
the only girl because I get my own room."
Although it seems her fellow teammates would
rather hang out in her room and watch TV because
"it smells better." |
