Summary
An amazing 7 girls return from last years state meet race. Only 3 of those girls went sub 5 last year in Madie Boreman Natalie Rathjen and Abigail Cartwrighrt.. Natalie had such a good cross country season it is hard to pick against her here. Boreman really excels on the track. She was dominant last year and I think she defends her title and wins again.
Txrunning Pre-Season Favorite: Madie Boreman
