Congratulations to Aanya and Tinsley, who both competed at IESA State today!

Aanya represented Wredling and placed 5th, earning All-State honors! 🎉

Tinsley runs for Burlington Central and set big goals for herself this year: run a PR under 13 minutes and qualify for State. She crushed that PR goal early at sectionals with a time of 12:51 and today she rocked State!

So proud of these young ladies for setting big goals, putting in the work, and seeing those goals through. Way to go! 💙🦈💛
