Individuals
Nadhia Campos heads to State for the first time, and yet she'll toe the starting line as the favorite. The Vanguard School freshman won five out of six races this season, with her only loss coming to runners from larger classifications. She recently ran 18:13 to win the 2A Region 2 in a personal best, meaning she's peaking right on time.
Though, the freshman will have competition.
And it'll likely come from Zaila Smith. The Buena Vista senior dominated the 2A Region 3 championships, running 18:37 - a PR. She's won five of seven races, with one loss coming from runners from larger classifications, and the other a runner-up finish to Campos.
Elle Stevens is another runner who could make a run for it. The Colorado Springs Christian senior finished second to Campos at regionals in a 18:37 PR, and she was third behind Campos and Smith at the Tri-Peaks/Black Forest League Championships.
This race goes down Saturday at 11 a.m.
