Summary
This is going to be a great race. Maybe the event of the year in 5A. We have 5 girls returning. Taylor Bennett has the fastest time of all returners 11.65. She ran that time at the State Meet. I'Shunique Hamilton progressed very well last year. I think she will be one of the contenders for sure along with Amber Ivy.
