At the 6A North Regional Championships, the depth for the state's strongest region in cross country was very apparent with many good teams and individuals unable to qualify for state competition. Making the final individual spot for the state meet in the 6A North Region girls' race with her 25th place finish (18:42) was Yorktown junior Kelly Hart, a sub 19 minute 5K runner.

A list of the top 10 individual state qualifiers from each of the 12 regionals for next weekend's VHSL State Championships. With the new classification system as well as new qualifying format for the state meet which advances the top 10 individual finishers in each regional race not among the 6 state qualifying teams, finding who actually are the individual state qualifiers is not as easy to find in each regional meet results like in the past when there was a top 15 cut-off.
