This should be a great race. It has a great mix of young talent and experienced talent. We have Paig Hofstad which won the cross country title this past season. She has been on fire this year running a season best time of 10:25. District Rival Devin Clark has been brillant this season. She has a season best of 10:20 and has beat Paige Hofstad head to head in the last 3 races. Madi McLellan is the sr in this group. She has a season best of 10:26.91. She was the runner-up last year in this event and was the winner a couple of years ago so she has the talent and experience.  Julia Heymach and Ashton Endsley are both FR sensations that have to be in the conversation also.
