  "account": "Lexington junior Gabi Twedt finished third overall in the Division I-II race at the Ashland Cross Country Invitational, with a time of 19:27.7. She expressed disappointment that it wasn't good enough, as she aims for sub-19 minutes. Twedt credits her improved performance to the team's practice, despite the heat and lack of seniors from last year. Lexington's Jenna Halfhill placed ninth, while Evalynn Adkins was 14th. Other strong performances included Alexis Neal (37th), Nyra Loy (40th), Adria Sharrock (57th), and Brynlee Brokaw (61st) for Lexington. The Shelby Whippets secured fifth place, while Ontario finished 15th. Lexington Minutemen's Will Hooper led the team to a fifth-place finish, with his 16:24.0 leading to a team total of 144 points.",
