“Emma Bourg took advantage of multiple opportunities to square off against elite competition, despite racing in the smallest classification in the state, and demonstrated her maturity and experience with several impressive wins. She also posted the fastest 3-mile performance across all classifications at the state meet in addition to boasting the top 5K clocking of 2022 by any female competitor in the state.”
