Girls Varsity Cross Country

The MICDS Girls Cross Country season was the best season since being moved to Class 5 due to our success in previous years. Three runners qualified for the State Championship. Julia Ray ’23 finished 4th at the State Championship to earn All-State honors for the third season in a row. Ray was also the MSHSAA Class 5 District Champion for the third straight season, is currently ranked in the top 30 in the country in Cross Country, and raced in the Foot Locker Championship. Senior Captain Riley Noonan ’22 made the most of her first trip to the State Championship and earned All-State by finishing in 15th place. She also finished 7th in the District Championship earning All-District in her final season. Noonan was also the winner of the Harriet Green Award given to the team member most inspiring to her teammates. Grace Coppell ’25 earned All-District and competed at State in her first season. She was also First-Team All-League with her top-seven finish on the challenging Priory course. Captains Noonan, Ellie Gira ’22, Cate Cody ’22, and Olivia Rickers ’22 provided excellent leadership this season as the Rams traveled to Indiana and Illinois for meets against some of the top talent in the Midwest Region. The Rams finished runner up in the Metro League Championship and had four All-League runners, including Kate Williamson ’24. In addition, Ray won the Forest Park XC Festival, Noonan finished runner-up at the Border Wars Championship, Ray and Noonan finished 1-2 at the Metro League Championship and both were selected to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch All-Metro Cross Country team, and Cody won the TRXC JV Championship.
