A race featuring the top-3 teams in Section 8A at the Park Rapids Invitational on Monday really came down to a battle between the host Panthers, ranked No. 11 in Class AA, and No. 12-A Perham.  Despite going without their top runner, senior Cassie Beseman, Perham put all 5 scoring runners in the top-18.  But, led by meet medalist, No. 6 ranked Lydia Lutz (14:48), Park Rapids barely edged the Lady Jackets by 1-point, 61-62.  Warroad was a distant 3^rd with 102 points.
