Pine Creek senior Heather Bates said she never dreamed of winning the Class 5A cross country championship. She wasn't alone. When she crossed Bear Creek with 800 meters to run, the crowd that gathered did make an audible "gasp."
"I could hear people along the way saying things like, 'oh' my gosh, I can't believe she is so far ahead.' And honestly, I couldn't believe it either."
She covered the hilly 5K course in 18:16.5, easily the fasted time of all the girls in all classes at the state meet.
The win marked Bates' first cross country title. She is a two-time track and field champion in the 3,200-meter run.

Some 1,600 high school cross country runners representing schools from across the state hit the trails in Bear Creek Park on Friday in the Cheyenne Stampede cross country meet.
The event provides a preview of the state high school meet that will be held later this fall. The unique course hits all the best parts of Bear Creek Park and includes quiet stretches through the trees, a tough hill, lots of twists, turns and sunshine.
There were plenty of big performances at the Stampede, the first meet of the season. One of the biggest was turned in by Air Academy freshman Katie Rainsberger, who won the Class 4A Girls Division 1 race with a time of 19 minutes, 58 seconds.
