Bowling Green scored 68 less points than second place Findlay, and placed their top five in the top nine spots and their top seven in the top fourteen spots.

6. Cincinnati Colerain OH – Had this team not been missing their number two girl, they could have won. Colerain’s number two girl Brittany Detzel has been diagnosed with mono and will be taking a few weeks off from competition. This being said, Colerain headed up to the Griak Invitational (Minnesota), where they took sixth with 224 points. First placed was Lakeville (#9 Heartland) with 166 points. Detzel had been running with Ragouzis all season long, which would have cut at least sixty points off their team score, which would have vaulted them into first. Colerain still ran strong though, beating two ranked Heartland teams, and should’ve headed back to Ohio feeling good about their chances the rest of the season.
