While the boy's race was a strategic affair, Brooklyn Ewert made her intentions known early.
The Mountain View junior threw down her hammer before the mile, and telescoped away with a dominating victory.
Ewert picked up the first win of her season running 19:52 to claim the 4A Region 4 title.
Behind her, Taylor Weiss, Elena Arteaga, and Mikenna Hoffman kicked down the final stretch for that runner-up spot, with Weiss takin the honors, running 20:19. Arteaga and Hoffman both crossed in 20:20, with Arteaga getting the lean .40 to Hoffman's .70.
Thompson Valley's pack elevated them to the region title, tallying 80 points. Silver Creek was a close second with 85 points, while Mead took third with 101. The final qualifying spot came down to the slimmest of margins - just one agonizing point. And it went to Windsor, who tallied 122. Erie was fifth in 123.
