The boys team took 18th place with a team score of 420 and an average time of 17:03. The Tigers edged out LaPorte and Jasper by 24 and 26 points to take the top 20 spot. The girls team finished in 20th place with a team score of 430 and an average time of 20:07. Warsaw ended the day just one point behind Morgan Township, and 80 points in front of nineteenth place finisher Lake Central.
Warsaw’s top finisher on the day was Josefina Rastrelli, who ended her spectacular junior year with a top ten finish in the state, coming in seventh place with a time of 5:47.6. Fifth and sixth place finishers in the girls race beat Rastrelli by a combined six tenths of a second. Rastrelli finished as the second highest finisher of all non-seniors competing in the championship race, being only edged out by Delta’s Nicki Southerland, who placed second.
Junior Tyler Swartz and senior Garrett Hall were the top two finishers on the boys side for Warsaw. Swartz secured a top 100 spot in the state by finishing 99th with a time of 16:48.1. Hall was not far behind with a time of 16:54, coming in 111th place.
The Tigers return plenty of talent next season and will be competing again next fall.
