Emma Saia-Austin Vandegrift
As Saia enters her senior year, she will assume more of leadership type of a role with her team. She has played a key role in the Vandegrift's dominance in the Austin area and their rise to being recognized as one of the top teams in Texas.
With two big time performances last year at the UIL 6A - District 13 meet (second place) and at the UIL Region 2 XC Championships (sixth place), Saia could be on path to make some major waves in the ATX and in the state. Vandegrift races at some of the biggest meets in the state and if they are able to put together a COVID-19 2020 schedule to resemble their usual schedule Saia will get plenty of opportunities to make an impact.
