Summary
This race is going to be fun. Not only are 7 of the 9 coming back from last year but you also have 3rd place 4A runner Devin Clark moving up to 5A this year. Kaite Jensen broke the record last year in 10:24 but I think the record goes down. Region 2-5A is stacked this year. 5A has 10 girls returning from last year who all broke 11. Karis Jochen and Sandie Raines had huge cross country seasons.
