OBETZ — The fourth time is a charm for Shelby’s Anna Will. After qualifying for the state cross country championships in each of the last three seasons, but coming up short in her quest for an All-Ohio honor, the senior accomplished the elusive goal when she finished 33 rd with a 19:29.2 to take second team All-Ohio honors. LEXINGTON TAKES STATE RUNNER-UP HONORS: Lexington's amazing journey leads to Division II state runner-up finish “I am really happy about it,” Will said. “Every year, I have come here with the goal of earning All-Ohio and I have never got it. Finally getting it my senior year and my last race in a Shelby jersey is thrilling and means so much to me. It is something I have been working for since I was a freshman.” Last week at the regional meet, Will got boxed in and while she still earned an individual qualifying spot, she felt like she was held back from running her absolute best.
