The Skinny: Like their boys, Martin County West again projects to be the runner-up their conference championships, this time to Lake Crystal-WM, but the same should not be expected for their top runner Marissa Whitehead. While Lake Crystal's Makenna Thurston has been having an amazingly consistent year, she has lost both her head-to-head matchups to the 2016 State runner-up by decent margins and has yet to run faster than 19:30 (which Whitehead has done four times). Still, expect it to be an exciting battle to the finish between the two All-State runners.
