School: Hockaday High School
Analysis: Cross Country is a distance sport, but Vaughan could be the ideal middle distance runner. She is the SPC state champion in cross country and she has a blazing 17:34.25 PR from McNeil, but could she be the prototype middle distance runner? With a 1600m PR of 4:56.92 and 2:17.11 in the 800m, Vaughan clearly has some speed. She also ran two fast 2K steeplechase races with her 7:12.25 being her fastest. The 2K distance seems like it may be the ideal distance and her ability to tackle the steeple horses could be the event for Vaughan.
Her 17:37 5K run at last week's Marcus I Invitational is proof she is in good fitness at this point of the season.
