NORTHFIELD — Running a smart, steady and evenly-paced race Saturday morning (November 5), Fulda High School eighth-grader Morgan Gehl claimed an impressive eighth-place finish at the 2016 Minnesota State Class A high school cross country meet on the campus of St. Olaf College in Northfield.
Representing the cross country pairing of Murray County Central and Fulda, Gehl earned an All-State certificate given by the State Cross Country Coaches Association to runners finishing among the Top 25. She was the first girl from all of Section 3A to enter the chute Saturday, passing three-time section champion Madison Schandelmeier, a senior from Luverne, with a blazing finishing kick at the end of the long race.
