1 Tigers roll to Granite City Invitational title, Korak, Schrobilgen, Hudson, Determan lead pack by Dan Brannan, Content Director September :18 PM

2 GRANITE CITY - Edwardsville head cross country coach George Patrylak was greeted with quite a surprise of girls finishes in the Granite City Cross Country Invitational on Saturday.

3 Leading the pack were freshman Abby Korak, who was second overall (18:34.83). Sophomore Abby Schrobilgen, Edwardsville (18:59.54); and sophomorejaycie Hudson, Edwardsville (19:09.45) rounded out Edwardsville s top 10 finishers. Senior Julianna Determan was 14th (19:22.24); followed by teammates Maddie Miller (17th, 19:27.22); Payton Flowers (24th, 19:38.05); and Victoria Vegher, 34th, 20:00.12). I was very pleased with our girls, he said. When I looked at the girls team I knew we would be solid and return with five of our top seven from last year returning and our freshman Abby Korak leading the pack as the No. 1 runner. What surprised me was our second and third place finishes. Abby Schrobilgen ran a great race and finished second with our runners. Jaycie Hudson was not a varsity distance runner last season in track and was told to make the team she would have to run distances. She was brave and stuck it out and today ran 4 minutes faster than she did last year and was our third-place overall runner. Patrylak said to have six of his ladies place in the top 24 of a meet with more than 30 girls teams was quite an accomplishment.
