Jesuit girls claim title, Sherwood shows out at 6A State Cross Country Championships

It had been three years since the Jesuit girls had claimed a state cross country title, but that changed this past weekend when the Crusaders got back atop the podium at the 2026 State Cross Country Championships held on Saturday, Nov. 7, at Lane Community College in Eugene. “I feel so good about how we ran,” Jesuit’s Elizabeth Welsh told the OSAAtoday’s John Guenther. “We’ve really learned how to race well as a team.” Welsh was Jesuit’s highest individual finisher, running the 5K course in 18:21.5. She preceded teammates: Anya Augustine who was ninth (18:40.4); Quinn Hanley who was 10th (18:56.6); Alana Barker who was 14th (19:12.2); Maeve O’Scannlain who was 16th (19:16.0); Anna Williams who was 30th (19:38.2); and Kate Zeidlhack who was 32nd (19:39.6).
