Brookfield’s Alex Sharp Finishes Third in Class 2 State Cross Country

Brookfield junior Alex Sharp fell a little short of defending her Class 2 State Cross Country Championship. Sharp settled for third place with a time of 20:03 this past Saturday at Gans Creek Cross Country Course in Columbia. Sharp explains what she was feeling heading into the race.

Rita Eimer from St. Pius The Tenth of Kansas City took home the Class 2 state title. Sharp says she plans to use her third place finish to drive her forward for her remaining high school seasons.

During her freshman season, Sharp won a track state title in the 1600 meters. After having her sophomore season canceled due to COVID-19, Sharp says she has lofty goals for the upcoming track season.

In between the cross country and track seasons, Sharp will serve as a member of the Brookfield girl’s basketball team.
