The Rundown
There are freshmen that carved themselves a prominent role in XC. Hanging at the front of State Finals races, helping their teams win titles.
Then there are some in which development took a little longer, but are poised to make an impact this year and in the coming seasons.
To view Daisy’s transformation that occurred during track, just look at how she performed relative to her OK Red peers. In XC jamborees, she averaged a 6th place finish (10, 4, 6). At the conference track meet, two 2nd place finishes in the 1600m and 3200m, even after a 4×8 that likely put some hurt into her legs. Even more dramatically, her 8th place finish in the D1 3200m wouldn’t have been possible for the November Daisy who placed 76th at State.
Rockford is back and a contender for the podium in November. With a quickly progressing girl at the front, the Rams will have no choice but to follow.
