AURORA, Ill. - Linn-Mar freshman Stephanie Jenks won the Charger Classic Invitational cross country meet by nearly 43 seconds Saturday at Oakhurst Park in Aurora, Ill.

Jenks is ranked No. 1 in Class 4A in Iowa, and after Saturday's performance she undoubtedly would rank extremely high in Illinois as well.

Jenks covered the course in 16 minutes, 17.9 seconds to run away with the individual title. Skyler Bollinger of Yorkville, Ill., placed a distant second in 17:00.4.

The Linn-Mar girls finished second out of 24 teams in the meet. Amber Decker placed seventh, Rachel Perry 10th, Maddie Saville 16th and Morgan Uridil 54th.

The Linn-Mar boys finished third out of 29 teams in their race. Linn-Mar junior Josh Evans, who is ranked No. 1 in Iowa, did not run Saturday due to tightness in his right leg, but the Lions made a strong showing without him.

Chase Grabau led Linn-Mar in 14th place. Tanner Rathje finished 16th, Kyle Read 31st, Jay Halverson 32nd and Michael Mather 47th.
