Individuals: Megan McLaughlin (East Aurora) - 123, Faith DeMars (Bethlehem) - 122, Bryanna Renuart (Walsh Jesuit, OH) - 121, Molly Fitzgibbons (Oswego) - 120, Molly McLaughlin (East Aurora) - 120, Lizzie Lucason (Camden) - 118, Grace Brown (Villa Maria, PA) - 117, Rory Graham (Burnt Hills) - 116, Katie Cobos (Canadaigua) - 115, Lexi Seifert (Villa Maria, PA) - 111

Breakdown: Consider this the most diverse of the team fields for the whole meet. East Aurora leads a big pack of out-of-state teams who are looking to challenge the top team in Class B. The speed ratings for the other teams are general estimations, looking at a five-point improvement from what they ran last year, per runner. Villa Maria has a strong top two to match East Aurora, so it will be all about those back runners. The individual race should be hotly contested as well. Megan McLaughlin is coming off a win at Pre-State, and a bronze at her home invite, while Lizzie Lucason also won a race at Pre-State. Faith DeMars is making the trip from Section 2 after winning the Queensbury invite, and could take a big jump.
