Winchester (Nov. 5, 2010) - The Dulles District champion Freedom High School girls cross country team continued their best ever season with a fourth place finish at Thursday's wet Region II meet at the Kernstown Battlefield.

The Eagles, finishing behind Western Albemarle (47), Warren County (89) and Brentsville (96), scored 110 points to qualify for the fourth and final AA state meet spot, beating out district rivals Potomac Falls (137), Brair Woods (146) and Woodgrove (159).

Freshman Callie O'Connell, Dulles District champion, led the Eagles with a fifth place finish, crossing at 20:01. Western Albemarle's Mattie Webb won the race in a blazing 18:59.

Three other area runners made the top 15 to qualify for States: Potomac Falls freshman Sarah Dillistin (8th, 20:06), Potomac Falls senior Rachel Hagen (13th, 20:14) and Loudoun County junior Kathryn Eder (14th, 20:20)
