Top Girl Trios In The State!


There is some stiff competition for the title of Best Girls' Team in the State. We have a handful of deadly duos capable of shaking up the whole state. Pinecrest (4A) is led by the Alder sisters, Carmen Alder and Vanessa Alder. The duo placed 1st and 3rd at the XC State Meet last season, by far the top finishing duo. With them is rising sophomore Lauren Wimberly who has challenged the younger Alder sister throughout their freshmen years. 

Chapel Hill (3A) is coming off a runner-up finish at the XC State Meet last season but returns with the 8th and 11th place finishers in Amelia Maughan and Abby Weber. Sydney Runkle finished 23rd at the State Meet and looks to move up towards the Top 10 with her teammates.

Weddington's (3A) trio has only a 10 seconds split from 1-3, one of the top in the state. Anna Ritter, Alyx Beausoleil, and Emma Jones. The 3A division is stacked, right behind Weddington comes defending XC State Champion, Cuthbertson. Madeline Hill will be a top contender this season and her teammates Lillian Nasta and Alyssa Preisano are right behind her!

Topsail (3A) is another school to keep an eye out this season, even though they fall #16 on the list. They feature the Obremski's, #1 and #11 returners in the whole state based off PR. If Kaitlyn Obremski and Makayla Obremski can work with their teammates behind them and really push them up to the front, then we can see Topsail battling for a XC Team Championship.
