Meet Preview: Breakdown And Projections of Region 3

Oct 26, 2019

2A Girls

In the 2A girls classification, we are going to see a battle between several teams trying to qualify for state. The Crawford girls should be safe in the first place spot. They could place three girls in the top 10 to help seal their trip back to Round Rock. However, that is where the race will get interesting. With teams like Moody, Grapeland, and Valley Mills all trying to back to state as well, you can expect to see coaches and supporters all over the course urging their teammates to push harder.

However, there will be more teams who will seriously be in the hunt. Rosebud-Lott, Douglass, and Riesel could all have strong races and get one of those qualifying positions.

Girls Team Predictions:

1. Crawford

2. Moody

3. Valley Mills

4. Rosebud-Lott

There is a freshman from Axtell who will attempt to shake things up this year in the individual race. Karis Dieterich comes in with the fastest time on the season. However, look for some of the older girls like Sadey Paniagua, Jimena Perez, and Love Sarah to give her a crash course introduction to the Kate Barr course

2A Boys

New Summerfield should be the class of this field. They could potentially place three of their top five guys in the top 10. That would just about sew the regional title up for them as they have a super solid four and five.

Woden and Valley Mills will be close teams is NS has a blow up race. Nonetheless, they will battle each other for the runner-up spot

Boys Team Predictions:

1. New Summerfield

2. Woden

3. Valley Mills

4. Tenaha

Justin Neal and Angel Torres will battle it out for the regional championship. Neal comes in with a 17:07 SB and Torres isn't far behind with a 17:12.
