The Division 1 meet did not go as Londonderry head coach Ed Burgess expected, but he wasn't complaining about the result.

Thanks to a late surge, the Lancers captured the crown for the first time since 1994, finishing with 89 points, five fewer than runner-up Bishop Guertin.

"It wasn't pretty  we've run better at Derryfield (Park) before but the girls gutted it out and it's nice to get the title," said Burgess.

Colleen Kennedy led Londonderry, taking eighth in 19:52 with Cassandra Cronin in 11th and, with perhaps her best race of the season, Amanda Szymanski in 19th.

Bishop Guertin was leading most of the race but Kennedy, Cronin and Szymanski all passed BG runners down the final stretch. Sydney Legueux came in 22nd and collapsed at the finish line and freshman Maddie McKivergab came in 30th.

Pinkerton had a strong performance to finish fourth overall led by freshman Morgan Sansing in 10th and classmate Arie Vaillancourt in 20th and junior Danika Ashness in 28th. Timberlane was eighth, led by Hannah Kimball in sixth (19:32), Kate Estep in 14th and Lauren Oligny in 18th.
