Abigail Parra-Buda Hays
Buda Hays junior Abigail Parra is one of Austin area's dangerous distance runners. She qualified for the state cross country meet as a freshman and sophomore with top 20 finishes in both years.
Parra also had a solid race at the Team Championship South Regional with her 36th place finish. Combine that with her ninth place finish at the state track and field meet in the 1600m and she has big meet experience most upperclassman runners don't even have.
She showed more consistency when she ran a 5:07.56 1600m PR before the track season ended. Parra already proved she is on a high level, we'll see what that leads to this cross country season.
