Regional Previews: Division 2, Region 16
Where: Lake Fenton. Traditionally hosted at Linden, this *might* be an even tougher course. I didn’t have any meets rated from last year, so I went and looked at the 2nd FML Stars Jamboree. That came out as a -28 for boys and -33 for girls. That was in late September, so with cooler temps and peaking athletes, I wouldn’t be shocked if this runs 10-15 seconds SLOW.

Sophie is majorly underrated here, she showed up big at State on a level she didn’t reach much of last year.
