U, Cotter runners reach junior worlds

Grace Ping, a Winona Cotter sophomore, finished fourth in the women's race behind three college runners. Her time in the 6K race was 21:26.9. "I just tried to stick with the top six throughout the race, and tried to push it the last mile," Ping was quoted as saying by the FloTrack website. "I really worked my fitness and endurance."

Ping, a two-time cross-country running state champion in Class 1A, said she has been training with the Ramblers' cross-country ski team.
