ELISE CRANNY, Niwot cross country -- The Niwot junior turned in one of the most memorable finishes ever at the state cross country championships en route to winning the Class 4A title. Cranny came roaring back against Air Academy freshman Katie Rainsberger down the stretch, finally overtaking Rainsberger just steps in front of the tape. Cranny finished with a winning time of 18 minutes, 43.36 seconds, edging Rainsberger by only one-tenth of a second to capture the first individual state cross country championship in school history.
