The Lake Braddock girls (pictured above by Jason Byrne of flrunners.com) finished a respectable second place at the Southern Stars Invitational on Saturday night in Tampa, Florida as the US #20 squad suffered a mild upset over a very strong Lourdes squad from Florida, who had defeated a previous nationally ranked squad in Episcopal of Florida earlier in the season. Still not at full strength as team with Christine Moore and others not competing, Lake Braddock still put their top five under 20 minutes with sophomores Kelly Hagan (15th, 19:10) and Amanda Parker (18th, 19:22) leading the way by taking 20 individual finishes. Many of Florida's top teams were present as the Lady Bruins competed in a top division of 20 schools. Rounding out their top five were senior Erin Landy (21st, 19:26), senior Anna Corrigan (23rd, 19:26), and junior Nadeen Khoury (44th, 19:54). As flrunners.com's Jason Byrne described the race, "It was a battle for who had the best pack all the way and it was hard to tell from watching the race."
