Wood, a senior, captured the state 5A title in the 3,200 meters in 10 minutes, 39.46 seconds on May 20, then won the 1,600 in 4:54.25 the following day at Dona Larsen Park in Boise. The Boise State-bound Wood also finished second in the 800. “She has been so easy to coach because she just does the right thing and loves every aspect of it," Post Falls girls distance coach Jessie Ward said. "She totally deserves every good thing that happened to her.”
