MaLeigha Menegatti's 2:17.61 in the 800 tops current 4A Girls qualifiers and is four seconds ahead of last year's minimum state-qualifying mark in the event.
It's a new year in 4A Girls, with a few new teams that weren't part of the mix last year and a few teams departed from last year's mix to 3A. Still, one of the best indicators of what it will take to advance to State this year is what it took the last couple of years.
I've compiled the minimum state-qualifying marks for 2015 and 2016 below. Against those, I've listed the current #18 ranking for the events for 4A Girls in 2017. Obviously, those #18 rankings will improve as the season moves ahead, but, for now, we have a picture of where we are against the minimum qualifying standards of the last two years.
