The well travelled Laura Zeigle won at Simplot, NSIC New York, Mobile Meet of Champions, Mt. SAC, Whittier CA, and Vancouver BC, in addition to a triple in the Utah 5A state meet. Her best effort was her 16:29 5K on the track at the Jim Bush Twilight Classis, Whittier CA, breaking Allison Tubbs' 1-year-old record for 17-year-olds by 15 seconds. It was the fourth best HS girls mark ever behind Cathy Schiro 1985, Mary Shea 1979, and Erin Keogh 1986. Laura's only loss outdoors to a high school girl was in the sizzling 2-mile at the Golden West. Megan Kaltenbach reeled her in late and they put up the 2nd and 3rd fastest times of the season. Laura and twin sister Jackie join the University of Colorado juggernaut this fall. Laura Zeigle at Mt. SAC
