2. Bozeman MT—
Heavily favored in the Montana AA state meet race, Bozeman showed why with a dominant victory that featured all 5 scorers in the top 10, 6 in the top 13, and 7 in the top 20. The 35 points they racked up was 4 points shy of the all-time state AA record for low score, held by Flathead’s 2001 squad. Super frosh Heidi Turner made it a Bozeman sweep of the AA individual titles, matching Alex Brekke's boys' victory with a 17:47 tour of the windy course that left second placer Keely West (CMR) well back in 18:13.
