Lippert sets AGWSR 3,000-meter mark at South Hardin Invitational

ELDORA – Despite a growing gap between herself and the rest of the pack, AGWSR freshman Bethany Lippert battled within, pushing hard the entire 3,000-meter race at the South Hardin United Suppliers Invitational Friday night. The result was not only a win, but new school record with a time of 11:40.05.
“We expect her to keep bringing that down even more as the season progresses,” AGWSR coach Laurie Gann said.
Lippert also placed second in the 1,500-meter run. The Cougar 4 x 800 meter relay team of Abbie Young, Maddie Brandt, Paola Cordova, and Jessica Lippert fourth, and Taylor Risius ran to fourth in the 3,200-meter run. In the field events, AGWSR earned fourth place finishes from Rachel Frazier in the shot put and Madison Fryslie in the long jump.
“(I am) pleased with our first track meet of the year,” Coach Gann said. “The girls competed hard and had good results.”
