CALMAR — Thirty-two seconds.

That’s more than three Snapchat videos.

That’s longer than you’d count between seeing lightning that’s six miles away and hearing the thunder.

It’s also the time that lapsed between Nashua-Plainfield sophomore Kandace Huck’s first-place finish Tuesday night in Calmar and the second-place finisher.

Huck won the varsity girls 5K cross county race at the South Winn Invitational with a time of 20:06.4. Central Elkader senior Hannah Asche took second at 20:38.5.

As a team, the Huskies girls squad captured sixth place out of a nine team field.
