The Nike Cross Nationals Midwest Regional is set to take place this weekend at the famed LaVern Gibson Championship XC Course in Terre Haute, Indiana. This year several of the top athletes who ran at last year's national championship event will be challenging for a place on the line at nationals once again.
Leading the way on the girls side is Glenbardwest's (IL) Katelynne Hart, who was last year's Midwest Region champion and fourth-place finisher at Nike Cross Nationals. Behind her, there are several other top Midwest athletes who qualified for nationals in 2017 including Greencastle High School's (IN) Emma Wilson, who was the Midwest Region runner-up, and Beavercreek's (OH) Taylor Ewert.
