Peterson ran a personal best time in winning the 3200-meter run in 11:32.89 and also placed second in the 1600-meter run to account for 18 of her team's point total.
Deep and talented Lakeville South won the meet with 170 points, 18 more than host Eagan. Eastview edged the Tigers 67-65 for third, followed by Rosemount 64, Cretin-Derham Hall 57.5, Woodbury 42, Park of Cottage Grove 39.33, Apple Valley 33.5 and Bloomington Jefferson 11.66.
"This was a great opportunity for the ladies to compare themselves to some of the
best teams in the state," coach Tom Hart said. "We ran decent races, but we need to get faster, jump higher and longer, and throw further if we want
to compete in the championship meets at the end of the
season."
In addition to Peterson's runner-up finish in the 1600, Alica Hett ran a personal best 2:26.10 to take second in the 800-meter run.
The Tigers opned the meet on a positive note with the 4x800 relay team of Sofia Chadwick, Maricia Pacheco, Morgan Mach and Hett putting together a third place finish.
