Can Maury Dethrone Nansemond River?
Though it is an uphill battle this weekend, the girls from Maury are determined to make it battle until the final event against Nansemond River. Both of these teams have collected their fair share of team trophies the past three seasons but the question is will the order flip in which they receive them.
In Maury's 100+ year history as a high school this could be one of the best shots they have at taking home that elusive team trophy. To achieve that honor they would have to have a flawless meet on all fronts. To achieve that they will look for nearly all their points from the deadly duo of Maya Seay and Brooke Stith who could each score over 30 points individually. It will however take closer to 100 points to take down the Warriors of Nansemond River.
Team War, as they are colloquially known, will definitely be packing the house in the sprint events and hurdles this weekend. They will use their talented depth to pick up any loose points in anything 500 meters and down as well as the jumps.
They enter the meet with two stars of their own, Syaira Richardson and Kori Carter, who will also be looking to take home some major points this weekend.
Nansemond River definitely has the edge with their depth and versatility but Maury cannot be counted out this weekend.
