5 girls return from last years record breaking race where Sandie Raines earned the 3200m state record running a quick 10:13.81. The girls to keep an eye on are Kellee McCann which has the top returning time in the state, Devin Clark, Madi McLellan and Paige Hofstad. All of the girls broke 10:40 last year. Paige had such a tremendous this in the fall. It is hard not to pick her as the favorite to win the 3200m this year.
