Southern may be the team of the future in the south with its top three runners
being sophomores. However, the future could be now as freshman to sophomore
year often produces the biggest improvement. If this happens, the Titans could
be looking to advance out of Bedford.

Ben Davis, Franklin
ran a very good race in the regional only to experience a bit of a letdown the
next week. A young team full of freshmen last year, it is easy to understand
why that was so. The Grizzly Cubs could be the surprise team of the Indy area.
Junior Sarah Whitworth was not listed in the semistate results, but she ran
16:49 in the regional.

Penn
returns six of last year’s top seven and should be looking to improve on last
year’s 12th-place semistate finish. The Kingsmen already have two
solid runners up front who should move into the Top 30 at New Prairie, but in
order to finish in the Top 10, Penn needs improvement in its pack. Having three
girls who can run together is a huge intangible. Going five deep in returnees
certainly doesn’t hurt, either.

Huntington
North brings back six of its top seven from last year’s team that qualified for
semistate. The Vikings have a good frontrunner in Kara Van Horn, who will be
looking to place in the Top 15 and advance as an individual to the state meet.
As a team, Huntington
has a great chance to finish in the Top 10 with moderate improvement from last
season.

Warren
Central returns only four, but those coming back form a very impressive pack.
While the Warriors certainly don’t have enough firepower to advance to Terre Haute, they should
be a competitive team throughout the season. The girls need just one more to
join their ranks, which shouldn’t be a problem in a school of almost 4,000
students.
