Runner-up Ely finished 18 points behind Greenway/Nashwauk/Keewatin, which nabbed four of the top six times in the field.
In the four-team girls competition, Brophy clocked a time of 19:51.79, 16 seconds behind winner Olivia Pascuzzi of Chisholm. Three other Wolves cracked the top 15, including Mattie Lindsay, seventh, 20:48.64, Isabella Macho, 11th, 22:08.51, and Elsa Ellerbroek, 13th, 23:07.82.
