Girls Invitational
If you want to talk about domination... this race was the definition of VA dominance. This race featured some of the best runners in VA and many athletes who may not be on the national level but are certainly big players at the state level this season.
When it was all said and done Team VA went 1-6, 8, 11-16, and 19-20 in one of the most impressive displays of talent all year. If that wasn't enough... Team VA also swept the top seven team spots as well with Tuscarora taking the top spot and Lake Braddock's "B" team posting a very impressive second place finish with a 20:12 average. That would rank roughly 25th in the state amongst Varsity teams.
Natalie Morris of Loudoun Valley took home the title in 18:25 with Ava Hassabrock and Averi Witt not too far behind.
This race also featured Emma Wolcott in her season opening invitational with a 18:50 performance. This is a great sign to her health and exciting for Tuscarora and all of VA. That time is very close to what she was running around this time last year and could signal the resurgence of a great rivalry between her and Heather Holt.
