#17 Anna Bristle
Anna Bristle seemed to have breakthrough after breakthrough last cross country season, but narrowly missed winning a 2A State Title a handful of times. In XC Bristle improved from a 19:54 PR down to 18:59 from sophomore to junior year and 19th place at states down to 3rd narrowly behind the top girl. On the track Bristle continued to improve running 5:02 and 11:13. She was runner up in the indoor 1600, indoor 3200, outdoor 1600 and outdoor 3200 last season so is familiar with battling up front for a state title. I think Bristle has what it takes, but it's going to be a little tougher this year to as Bristle and Parkwood moves up to 3A. She's already kicked her season off with a 19:14 at CXC Summer Night Invite which is over a minute faster than last season.
