State of the Action

Consider the top heat on notice.  Run tactical, and the previous heats will beat you.  That's exactly what happened to Lindsey Butler a year ago, despite winning the Seeded heat, her time could surpass Haley Riorden.  Riorden is also back this year, but with a seed of 2:15, may once again be relegated to a prior heat.  It didn't stop her a year ago, so why should it now?  Butler will have three girls on her shoulder, but with the Indoor State Title, the Corning senior gets the edge.
