Local Roundup
NEW HAVEN — Alyssa Johnson’s third trip to the state cross country meet will have to wait until next season.
Johnson, a Jay County junior, ended her cross country season with a 53rd-place finish at the New Haven semi-state meet Saturday. She finished in 16-minutes, 12 seconds.
The top five teams and the top 15 individuals earned state berths.
Adele Mitchel of No. 10 Fort Wayne Concordia won the individual title in 14:11.70 as her team finished third with 99 points. No. 8 Fort Wayne Carroll took first with 68 points, No. 3 Northridge 75 took second, No. 17 Fort Wayne Snider was fourth with 132 and Homestead placed fifth with 215.
It was the third straight trip to the semi-state meet for Johnson, who qualified for the state meet in each of her first two seasons. She finished 46th in the state in 2002 and 58th in 2003.
The meet also marked the end of the season for South Adams sophomore Haleigh Lehman, who finished 45th with a time of 16:04.
Heath Lehman, Haleigh’s brother and the 2004 Bellmont sectional champion, finished his high school career with a 38th-place finish. He crossed the finish line in 16:50.
Blackford’s Adam Lenz was the individual champion in the boys race with a time of 15:53. No. 3 Northridge took the team title with 65 points followed by No. 5 Snider (80), No. 13 Elkhart Memorial (117), East Noble (181) and Blackford (198).
