The Rundown

Way back as a freshman, it took a bit of time for her to get adjusted. But ever since that point, it’s been game on. Lila’s late season run back in 2021 was a major factor behind Kent City’s surge towards 2^nd in the State. She blasted an 18:57 at Shepherd, placed 2^nd in a series of championship meets, before closing with a 14^th place finish. Her 2022 followed a similar trajectory, perhaps even more aggressively, with all but one of her final 10 races being of the sub-19 variety. She etched her name in Kent City lore with an 18:03 and a win over in Region 21, then repeated her same clutch performance with a 5^th place at MIS. There are some ringers in Division 3, but Lila has shown time and time again that she’s unafraid of any moment.
