Taylor Seaman also finished in 5th. “Taylor has done a really good job at catching up with the other four and improving,” Coach Holliday said. The JV team was also successful, with Seward taking 9 out of the 10 place finishes in that race. They were: Jordan Seaman-1st JV, Marti Vlasin-2nd, Michelle Ness-3rd, Megan Behlen-4th, Sierra Roth-5th, Erin Miller-6th, Katie Thrailkill-8th, Taylor Biddle-9th, and Jackie Uhing-10th.
