The 2015 XC state champion seems to be ready to rumble and back in tip top shape for the 2017 installment of XC. This weekend in her 5K season opener she finished first in the Oatlands Invitational with her 18:52 performance. The time may be well off of her course #2 all-time best but it certainly isn't slow considering the hot and humid conditions last Saturday.

Oatlands Invitational proves this year to be somehow more exciting than year's past and that is saying a lot. The 2017 installment will feature seven out of our top 15 runners and the entire top four just on the boys' side. On the girls' side it will be just as good with VA Flo50 #3, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 14 all competing.

Call this a 4A state meet preview, call it a Foot Locker South preview, call it an NXR Southeast preview, or just call it one of the best meets of the year because that is what it is. Aside from Great American perhaps we will not see a matchup quite like this all year and it is going to be an exciting one.

Seniors vs freshmen and sophomores is going to be the theme of this meet. You have stars Heather Holt, Emma Wolcott, and Natalie Morris facing off with some upstarts in Ghiselli, Graham, Church, and Fetterolf. It is going to be an exciting one of this tough course and you'll definitely have to tune-in for our photo, video, and live twitter coverage to see how it ends up. Team wise it should be Loudoun Valley edging out Green Hope (NC) but just like the individual race we will have to wait and see.
