Miller Grove won state last year with things not really going their way. The won by only scoring 36 points. Their top runner entering the season was hurt and was held out the majority of the season and was a shell of himself at state and the runner who became their top runner and one of the top freshmen in the nation had a bad race at state.
What will they be able to do now that they have two runners capable of winning the state meet and having only graduated one runner from last year's squad?
Saltillo and Priddy can run and will make life challenging for Miller Grove.
