Alex Doneth and Madison Morris look to be huge additions, both capable of cracking into their respective Top 5’s and shaking up medal stands.

We love comeback stories.

Sarah’s always been a force, All-State multiple times, part of Pioneer distance relays that are always at the front and on medal stands
Her last cross season didn’t go her way, it started late, but she still battled and contributed to a state title
These projections take in equal parts cross and track, so you know she absolutely crushed her track season
She set an overall PR in the 800m and 1600m, as well as an outdoor PR in the 3200m
Above all else, her speed was a major factor, setting the tone early in Pioneer’s 4×8 state title and a few sub-60 splits on 4×4’s

Showed promise as freshman, breaking 17:00 on a few occasions, but missed 2019 season
Returned as a junior and showed great consistency, with many races at or below 16:45
Had a subpar Pre-Region and Region, but battled back to help GR Christian finish 9^th at MIS
In track, excelled at mid-distance, breaking 2:00 and placing at State

Where: Wagener Park. I haven’t been there, but I believe it is extremely flat and partially on road. Has run anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds FAST.
