Thunder Invitational

by Eric Scroggins

The second annual Thunder Cross Country Invitational staged the top 2 girl's teams in Arizona.  Mtn. Ridge and Desert Vista.  Mtn. Ridge, the defending 5A State Champions and Desert Vista the 1998 5A State Champions battled it out the entire 3 miles.  After the first 2 miles Mtn. Ridge looked to be in control with Jenna Wrieden the Mtn. Ridge Junior leading the charge.  Desert Vista's Senior Amanda Lyon and Junior Julie Fisher, however, would not be denied.  The Desert Vista duo took the lead with 1 mile to go and never looked back.  They entered the stadium running stride for stride with 300 meters to go when Julie surged ahead to win with a time of 18:42.  The Desert Vista girl's finished 1, 2, 5, 6, and 18 to just nudge Mtn. Ridge 32 to 42. 

The boys race included the talented Hopi runners from up north.  The Hopi boys ran a team race and finished all five within 55 seconds of each other.  They outscored Mtn. Ridge  84 to 100 to take the team title for the second year in a row.
