Where: Chippewa Hills. I have data from a few years of their Late Season Warrior Invite and it tends to run a little SLOW come October. Maybe it’s the hills in the woods, maybe it just hasn’t been blowdozed. Anyway, it’ll be more of a challenge than most regional courses. Which is good!

(There are a few girls that aren’t listed below that are running this season and could place in the top 20. I’ve found the best predictor of someone running cross is having run the previous season. Obviously there are exceptions, but in fairness when making these, I aim to apply the same standard for every school. In conclusion, Breckenridge, Sacred Heart, and Beal City are already very good, and with additions, could be better than their already high standard.)
