One of these teams had the best 5-girl results from track season, plus very low turnover due to graduation, a formula for success.
Kingwood is the stat-head's choice to win a 6A title ove the next two seasons. In addition to having a strong set of returning 5K PR's - 7 girls under 20 minutes, a 2-7 split of under 30 seconds - the Mustangs had the best team results from outdoor track of any Texas girls' team. 5 girls are coming back with timed of 11:40 or faster for the 3200 (with 6 and 7 just over 12 minutes) is astounding depth, ranking 1st in the state by a big margin, and it gets even better: this team put 7 returning girls at 5:30 or faster! No other team in the state has more than 5, meaning Kingwood is the top-ranked squad in that event, too. The Mustangs had significant year-to-year improvement ove the last two seasons; with Abby Guidry up front and that kind of depth, this team will be a force. Did I mention that they only lost one senior last year, and only lose one more from the projected top 7 this fall? That gives Kingwood a 2-year window to capitalize on all their talent.
