Based on 2016 meet results and time alone, the ladies from Centerville, Ohio, look to be the favorites in the Midwest Region. Last fall they won the girls D1 OHSAA Ohio state cross country championship by scoring 120 points. They return their top seven runners from the state meet. Last year at the NXN Midwest Region meet they finished fifth.
Some other teams you can't forget about are Carmel High School and Fort Wayne Carroll High School, both in Indiana. Carmel always seems to find a way to reload and come back strong.
