Summary
This race is stacked. 8 out of 9 girls are returning from the state meet last year. Last years race was awesome and I am anticipating the same for this year. Region 2-5A has 3 girls that ran under 5 last year. The 5A field is very deep this year with at least 50 girls under 5:20. This should be one of the best events to keep tabs on this year.
