MADISON – The University of Wisconsin adidas Invitational is a great meet for those participating to show off their talents against some of the best runners in the state.
A total of 281 boys and 227 girls ran at the meet on Saturday and Auburndale’s Danica Harrison made the most of her opportunity against some of the top runners that she will perhaps see again at the WIAA state meet at the end of the month.
Harrison finished eighth overall in 15:16.2, and third in the Division 2-3 breakdown.
“This was a great race against some of the best schools in the state on a great course,” Auburndale coach Jim Johnson said. “Danica ran a fantastic race, starting out a little slower than usual, but she kept moving up.
Sam Karl took 59th overall in 16:30.9 to help the Auburndale girls to a sixth-place finish in Division 2-3.
Luke Haas was the fourth-fasted freshman and top in Division 2-3, finishing in a time of 17:28.5, which was 93rd overall. Auburndale was ninth among the 13 Division 2-3 teams.
Auburndale hosts the Auburndale Invitational on Tuesday at Frey Field in Spencer.
