The 2026 season was a year of growth for the Ogden girls’ cross country team.
The Bulldogs’ top team performances came on September 10 when they placed third at the Greene County Invitational and on October 22 when they finished fourth at the Class 1A state qualifying meet.
Leading the way was senior Sophie Seligman, who capped her high school career as Ogden’s top runner with a season-best 5K time of 21 minutes, 54 seconds.
Fellow senior Alena Wilson posted a season-best time of 23:11.
Freshman Kelsey Spencer recorded a personal-best time of 23:14.

Juniors Addison Hunziker and Alauna Wells contributed season-best marks of 25:09 and 25:20, respectively.
Freshman Ada Weaver finished the season with a personal-best 25:30.
Seligman and Wilson helped guide the Bulldogs throughout the year, while Spencer, Casey, Chevailler, Hunziker, Wells and Weaver gained experience.
By season’s end, the Bulldogs had earned a pair of top-four team finishes and continued to improve their times.
