“Kendall Bashore is an outstanding freshman, and we think she’ll be able to podium at districts,” said Whitehall coach Dave Seeloff. “Greta O’Brien is really putting in the work and coming in strong. And the three Giedls are part of the core group of girls. We lost every single record holder for the boys, so for both boys and girls, we’re rebuilding and hopefully making it so that our future looks stronger.”
In team scores, Solehi prevailed over Whitehall, 126-44.
