The Jaguars won the meet in a score of 23 points, and were without varsity competitor Davis Welch. They are coming off a remarkable showing at the 2022 Watson Cross Country Classic, a third-place finish in front of ranked team Saltillo High School, and are peaking just in time for the 2022 championship season. 

Varsity Girls 5K

It is clear that this is the best shape Alex Lee of Madison Central has ever been in and has taken advantage of it as the regular season comes to a close. 

Lee won the 2022 Dusk Challenge in a 5K time of 20:36.2. In current time, this was one week after her monstrous PR of 19:35.2 at the 2022 Watson Cross Country Classic
