Girls cross country: Prospect, Lake Zurich's Johnston sectional champs

After a one-year hiatus due to the pandemic, girls cross country runners poured their hearts and souls into qualifying for the IHSA state meet Saturday morning at the Class 3A Hoffman Estates sectional. Prospect won its fourth straight sectional championship in a row on the 3-mile Busse Woods course by a comfortable 86-128 margin over New Trier while Barrington locked up third place with 160 points. The individual race to the finish was a good battle between Lake Zurich junior Brooke Johnston (17:11) and Grant senior Aly Negovetich. But Negovetich falling on the slippery course late in the meet opened the door for Johnston to pull away and take first place by nine seconds.
