Junior Kacy Nehowig led the Dogs with a third-place run, recording her second straight top-five finish this fall. She trailed only the Swenson sisters from Lac Qui Parle Valley/Dawson-Boyd. Junior Nikki Swenson, the 2003 Class A champ and 2004 runner-up, won the race by more than a minute, while her ninth grade sister Kelly was second, with Nehowig third.

The Dogs ran without two of their top three runners, with ninth grader Linda Keller out sick and sophomore Kaitlyn Frenchick at a prior commitment.
