11 Francisca Ybarra (Sundown)
With some teammates not running and a new head coach, this season was a little bit different for Sundown sophomore Ybarra. That didn't seem to faze her too much as she still put together an awesome year.

10 Brenna Butler (Gruver)
Gruver junior Butler was the catalyst this year for the team. She helped lead them to their third place state meet finish and a team trophy.

9 Emma Walterscheid (Muenster)
