Article: PRE PREVIEW: GIRLS CROS COUNTRY Memorial adjusts to altered lineup Young Crusaders face test in new conference; ATHLETES TO WATCH Shannon Carney, jr., Kenosha Tremper: Came out of nowhere at the end of last season. After finishing 22nd at Southeast Conference meet, Carney ran away with a 7-second victory in sectionals and finished eighth at state in 15:18. Jaime Krofta, jr., Kettle Moraine: Finished with a flourish last year. Following a fifth-place finish in Southeast Conference meet, Krofta came in ninth at state, just behind Carney at 15:18. Jenny Fancher, soph., Arrowhead: Talented young runner finished strong last year. Opened some eyes with a 17th-place finish at state (15:29), by far the best performance by a freshman in Division 1. Also finished second in Southeast meet. Tricia Ehlen, jr., Burlington: Was an impressive 10th at state last year in 15:19. Needs to step it up even more to improve on such a high finish. Christina Gamzer, sr., Whitnall: Reliable runner who finished second in Parkland Conference meet last season and 31st at state. Took sixth in 3,200 at state track meet in June. Meghan Walker, jr., Arrowhead: Another in a long line of talented young Warhawks. Followed up a fourth-place finish in Southeast Conference meet by finishing 39th at state. Should improve on that with another year under her belt. Melissa Foley, jr., Waukesha West: Finished 21st at state last year in 15:33, following up an eighth-place finish at Southeast meet, which helped Wolverines to conference crown. Jackie and Jessie Swan, srs., West Allis Central: A 27th-place finish by Jackie and a 44th-place by Jessie at last year's state meet were crucial in team's fifth-place finish. Will be key contributors for Bulldogs again this year.
