Preview

Heartland Preview. Kansas State meet Saturday.  Big match-up in 6A boys with HL#3 Shawnee Mission Northwest and HL#5 Emporia matched-up, and Lawrence Free State waiting if either falter.  6A Girls race will be one of the closest ever.  Final regular-season match-up for Jana Gwinn (Blue Valley North) and Laura Roxburg (Blue Valley Northwest) and probably the closest girls team race in history, with seven to eight teams in the title race.
