6A Northern Regional Championship

@Burke Lake Park, Burke 

  • Virtual Meet: Boys - Girls
  • Meet Records: Boys - Girls 
  • Girls' Favorites: Kate Murphy, Lake Braddock - Team
  • Boys' Favorites: John Mackey, James Madison - Team
  • Lowdown: Finally it seems we will get to see two huge match ups for the season. First we will see the epic match between Kate Murphy and Rachel McArthur and just moments after that we will see James Madison's boys square off with twice defending Lake Braddock. This meet is the most historic region and more often then not the most exciting as well. 



6A South Region Championship

@Great Meadow, The Plains 

  • Virtual Meet: Boys - Girls
  • Meet Records: Boys - Girls 
  • Girls' Favorites: Rachel Northcutt, Riverbend - Team
  • Boys' Favorites: Peter Smith, Riverbend - Team 
  • Lowdown: Oddly enough the "south" region is the furthest northwest this year. Peter Smith and Rachel Northcutt will look to make quick work of their competition as they gear towards winning a state title while Riverbend continues to rise and will look for their first regional titles. 



5A North Region Championships

@Burke Lake Park, Burke

  • Virtual Meet: Boys - Girls
  • Meet Records: Boys - Girls 
  • Girls' Favorites: Heather Holt, George C. Marshall - Team
  • Boys' Favorites: Saurav Velleleth, Thomas Jefferson S&T - Team 
  • Lowdown: Two masters of Burke Lake Park will take on the course once again and both hope to lead their teams to victory as well. 



5A South Region Championships 

@Pole Green Park (Woods Course), Mechanicsville 

  • Virtual Meet: Boys - Girls
  • Meet Records: Boys - Girls 
  • Girls' Favorites: Caroline Robelen, Jodi Tolarchyk, Glen Allen/Deep Run- Team 
  • Boys' Favorites: Waleed Suliman, Deep Run
  • Lowdown: This one is going to be fast and competitive and luckily enough will be the last time Deep Run has to run on this course before states. It looks like this will be the most accurate Boys 5A State preview of the week. 



4A East Region Championship

@Loriella Park, Fredericksburg 

  • Virtual Meet: Boys - Girls
  • Meet Records: Boys - Girls 
  • Girls' Favorites: Kira Freedman, Grafton -Team 
  • Boys' Favorites: Price Owens, Konrad Steck, Midlothian - Team 
  • Lowdown:  Grafton and Midlothian have been slowly but surely gaining steam heading into the post-season and this should be a big week for them and the individual favorites. 



4A West Region Championships

@Kernstown Battlefield, Winchester 

  • Virtual Meet: Boys - Girls
  • Meet Records: Boys - Girls 
  • Girls' Favorites: Libby Davidson, E.C. Glass - Team 
  • Boys' Favorites: Peter Morris, Loudoun Valley - Team 
  • Lowdown: This course is hilly but oddly enough the favorites for these races all love the hills and are used to them despite being located hundreds of miles apart. Don't expect any blistering times but do expect E.C. Glass and Valley to be getting those trophies. 



3A East Region Championship

@Oatlands, Leesburg 

  • Virtual Meet: Boys - Girls
  • Meet Records: Boys - Girls 
  • Girls' Favorites: Lydia Goetz, Brentsville/Tabb (Tied)
  • Boys' Favorites: Jacob Kaminer, Riverside/Brentsville/Tabb - Team 
  • Lowdown: Speaking of hills, these teams couldn't get enough of it from conferences and are back for regionals. This could very well be the closest region for teams of the year. It is going to be very difficult to make it out to states. 



3A West Region Championship

@Virginia Horse Center, Lexington 

  • Virtual Meet: Boys - Girls
  • Meet Records: Boys - Girls 
  • Girls' Favorites: Samantha Marin/Ailene Edwards, Blacksburg - Team 
  • Boys' Favorites: Karl Thiessen, Blacksburg - Team 
  • Lowdown: After a tumultuous week, conference 32 athletes and the rest of the region are back in action at the regional level. Just like at the conference level, this is going to be a nearly impossible region to advance from and will require the best from every single individual. 


2A East Region Championship

@Panorama Farms, Charlottesville

  • Virtual Meet: Boys - Girls
  • Meet Records: Boys - Girls 
  • Girls' Favorites: Khloe Pointer, Maggie Walker - Team 
  • Boys' Favorites: Ryan Buscaglia, Maggie Walker - Team 
  • Lowdown: Maggie Walker has some serious competition in their western counterparts and will take this meet very serious as a tuneup. 



2A West Region Championship

@Giles County HS XC Course, Pearisburg

  • Virtual Meet: Boys - Girls
  • Meet Records: Boys - Girls 
  • Girls' Favorites: Jessey Ball, Floyd County
  • Boys' Favorites: John Easton, Union 
  • Lowdown: It looks like someone could finally end the Maggie Walker winning streak of individuals but it is going to take a lot of work. These athletes will be gearing up for a big showdown next weekend. 


1A East Region Championship

@Panorama Farms, Charlottesville

  • Virtual Meet: Boys - Girls
  • Meet Records: Boys - Girls 
  • Girls' Favorites: Rain Eguiguren, Northumberland 
  • Boys' Favorites: Gavin Jenkins, Luray 
  • Lowdown: Many seniors in this race and quite a few new faces as well making for a very competitive race on the hilly Panorama course. 


1A West Region Championship 

@Veldon Dotson Park, Wise 

  • Virtual Meet: Boys - Girls
  • Meet Records: Boys - Girls 
  • Girls' Favorites: Caitlin Dominy/ Mary Elliott, Radford/Auburn - Team 
  • Boys' Favorites: Caleb Hallinan, Auburn - Team 
  • Lowdown: Almost all the favorites for 1A states are in this race and it is going to be a slugfest to enter the state week ahead.
