Shawnee Mission NW Regional
@ SM Park Blue Valley West continued it's stunning first year
with a sweep of the SM Park regional title's. Both boys and girls teams
won, and Elle Pishney and Paul Hefferon won individual title'. Pinshney,
an all-stater last year for Blue Valley High, won in 11:39, thought to be the
fastest ever on the new SM Park layout. BV West's boys won with 37 points,
with Gardner-Edgerton 59, Kansas City Turner 65, and Bishop Miege 96 the other
qualifers. In a glaring example of the inequity of Kansas's current regional
set-up, only five complete teams ran in the girls race. Blue Valley West
edged Bishop Miege 30-36, with Paola (65) and Gardner-Edgerton (114) also qualifying.
