Quietly in the top-10 for a few weeks, Blacksburg (VA) looks poised for big things this weekend at the VA state champs.
Saucony Elite 50 Team Girls | Week 9
*Editor's Note: The Saucony Elite 50 refers to the top-50 teams in the country (25 boys and 25 girls).
In some great state championship action #1 Fayetteville-Manlius (NY) rolled over #18 Saratoga Springs with just 31 points and an 18:08 average. Fay-Man certainly looks the part of a national contender yet again this year. There was a great race between the top Illinois powers in 3A as #10 Glenbard West dismantled the field. #12 Naperville North finished 2nd, #13 New Trier was 3rd and Palatine finished a distant 4th. #16 Assumption (KY) won big in their state championship race with just 44 points. #15 Desert Vista (AZ) took down Xavier College Prep 60-70 and finds themselves in the rankings after a very strong state meet performance.
#5 Wayzata (MN) took control of the race at the Nike Heartland Regional, winning and qualifying for the national championship for the 2nd straight year.
#9 Blacksburg (VA) girls dominated their regional meet with just 24 points and an 18:58 average. They have been quietly amassing impressive victories this season and look like a lock for a state title this weekend.
Stay tuned each week as we bring you the Saucony Elite 50 Team Girls every Wednesday morning!
