Girls 3000m
Last years' winner Brooke Rauber has opted for the 1500m this year, but the runner-up, Sydney Nowicki is back in the field. Nowicki ran 10:10.14 to take that silver medal last year, and has the XC Credentials to boot, qualifying for NXN as a Freshman. However, Jenna Schulz, last year's third place finisher, is back and better than ever. Fresh off her first ever season of Indoor Track, Schulz has a different level of fitness. She has run 9:52 or faster four times over the Indoor season, and is the prohibitive starting-line-favorite.
Your top Section 5 seed comes in looking for a big race, as Delia McDade Clay carrier a 10:18 personal best from State Quals the Spring before. Depending on how the race plays out, and the weather at race-time, this could turn into a sit-and-kick affair.
