7 Match-Ups to Watch at the NCHSAA Regionals Tomorrow!

Jason Creasy
 
Dakota Mendenhall comes in as the top ranked boy in the NCHSAA 2A Midwest, but Brandon Miller has been having a huge end to his season.  Last week Miller beat out reigning NCHSAA 1A State Champion Kyle Rhodes (East Wilkes) at the MVAC Conference Championships.  His time of 16:12 was only the juniors second time under 17 and a 23 second PR.  Both of these boys raced at the Hare & Hounds Invitational this year, but were in different races with Miller running 16:35 and Mendenhall 16:15.  Though Mendenhall is the favorite heading into the race, Miller could catch and upset and continue his strong postseason success.
