Top 10 Scoreboard

Girls

#1 Smoky Hill CO
Off week before they travel to North Carolina to compete in the Great American Cross Country Festival.
The big news concerning the Smoky girls is the stress fracture of Katelyn Kaltenback, putting her in a boot
for three weeks. They will run Great American without her. Coaches are optimistic about her comeback
saying three weeks. In the meantime she is cross training with pool workouts. We all wish her a speedy, but more importantly, a healthy recovery.

#2 Los Alamos NM
Without #3 Megan Stockton, the US #4, SW #2 Los Alamos Hilltoppers did
not dominate but still easily handled a field that included 5 of New
Mexico's top-10 girls squads.

#3 Fremont Plain City UT
Oops. From our original post it was pointed out that a HUGE mistake was made on my part. Read below...

I believe that someone has made a mistake as far as the as far as the [original] Utah Wahsatach Rendevouz Meet is concerned. On the girls side, Park City Varsity Fremont did not beat Fremont, nor did Orem run their varsity team in the varsity competition.

We love feedback that sets the record straight. Please keep it coming.
