Right, Senior Shivani Kochhar is a four-time member of the All-State cross country team. Girls Cross Country Finishes with Top State Runners The girls cross country team performed well this season against a challenging field. They finished third at the renowned Maymont U.S. Army meet in Richmond on September 26, a contest that draws many top regional and national competitors. At the ISL championships at Episcopal High School on October 31, the girls squad finished a close fourth in the league. And at the Virginia State Championships at Woodberry Forest November 13, the girls ran well despite cold weather and rain. They placed sixth out of 12 teams. Senior Anneka Wilson completed her high school cross country career in fine style, winning her third ISL title and her second state championship. Senior Shivani Kochhar, a four-time member of the All-State cross country team, placed sixth overall in the ISL and 11th in the state. Next year the team will be relatively young, says Coach Jenny Bodine, with a number of promising runners including top-seven freshman Julia Keller. “The future is bright despite losing five seniors,” says Coach Bodine. This year the team enjoyed a newly created 3.1 mile home course. The challenging and hilly course covers much of the School’s 96-acre campus, including the grounds of the Lower School, the perimeter of the Gum Tree fields, the Lee Property and the trails of Pimmit Run. 3 2 ■ The Potomac Term
