Fremont girls run past Davis for 5A crown
Mtn. View wins 4A title, Park City victorious in 3A
So it was no surprise the two duked it out again Wednesday at the state high school cross country championships in Sugarhouse Park. This time, Fremont was even better. Running without the services of all-stater Jerrica Hall, who was out with a stress fracture, the Wolves bested Davis by 14 points to make it three straight 5A crowns.
Fremont joined Mountain View, Park City, Richfield and St. Joseph as team winners on an incredibly hot race day.

"The girls really came through again," coach Art Hansen said. "Jerrica was a cheerleader for us today, and I have to give a lot of credit to Davis. We really push each other in our region, and I think it makes each of us better at state."
Though disappointed that her team finished second again, Marler of Davis praised Fremont's efforts. "I take my hat off to them. We really worked so hard that for them to beat us, they must be a pretty good team." Jordan's Erin Fuller, a sophomore, was second behind Zeigle, with Northridge senior Stacie Lifferth in third. Zeigle, just a junior, finished her fine season without a loss in an invitational.
The 4A trophy went to Mountain View, which scored an amazing 44 points to easily defeat defending champ Orem. Bruins' coach Dave Houle said his girls were focused on beating the Tigers, who won last year.
"We just flat out got beat here a year ago. Sometimes you need to lose something to appreciate it, and I think the girls began thinking about winning this year right after they took second last year," he said. Murray junior Nichole Torgersen held off Lone Peak's Katie Bowen for first place with a time of 18:45.4. Torgersen has quickly become one of Utah's top runners, and both she and Bowen finished in front of Mountain View's highly-regarded Heidi Houle and Heidi Magill. Magill competed for just the second time in the past six weeks due to an injury she suffered at the BYU Autumn Classic, yet still finished fourth overall.
