Full McCook Bison girls' results from the SWC championship

It may have been a European passing lane, but Ogallala's Lindee Henning clearly peeks to see McCook sophomore Emma Cappel almost passing her in Saturday's 1600-meter champion run at the Southwest Conference track-field meet. The Bison had not beaten Henning before as familiar track and girls cross-country coach Tom Sughroue (below) exhorts Cappel. Emma's response was leaving Henning far from behind (below) with the historic win by more than 16 seconds on this gray, breezy afternoon.
