These girls attend rival schools from each other and have matched up many times over their high school careers so far. At Wendy's Invitational LaTour held off Bechtel for 2nd place by .2 seconds. These two girls will match up for the 4th time this season where a regional title is on the line. Though it isn't a given that either of these girls win the 3A Midwest regional crown they are two of the favorites. Alexia Noch (Cuthbertson) is ranked 2nd in the virtual meet, but was wearing a walking boot at conference meet, but should be go to go this weekend.
