What Did We Learn from Weekend 2? It's Never Too Early For Rankings

The 4A West Regional is Loaded with Girls' Talent

 

Already expected to be the most competitive region in the state, the 4A West got even tougher when Maddie McHugh moved into Hough's district from Connecticut.  McHugh posted a great season-opening time of 18:19 to lead Hough to a 5th-place finish at the Providence Invitational (and the Huskies can still get better, when Malea Smith gets back up to speed).  The host school looked impressive as well, scoring 3rd while holding out their top runner, Grace Sullivan (she is healthy, just on a different racing schedule).  If you plug her in, the Panthers would have challenged Green Hope for the team title.  Also, don't let their 5th-place ranking fool you: T. C. Roberson ran on a tougher course than the 4 team in front, and also ran without their returning #3 girl.  The individual race in the 4A West will be fierce as well: in addition to McHugh, Lake Norman's Holly Bailey and Ardrey Kell's Kylie Aymor both had impressive debuts, as did Lily Anderson (T. C. Roberson) and Lindsey Lanier (Providence).
