Top Nine Girls Teams Heading To NXR Heartland


Mill Valley (KS)

From Shawnee, Kansas, Mill Valley High School scored just 41 points to be named State Champions as Freshman Katie Schwartzkopf dropped a time of 18:19 to take the individual title in the 6A girls race. With 2-5 runners poised to go under 19, especially at the Regionals course, Mill Valley could pull off something like St. James Academy did last year, where they-quietly and with only five runners-took fourth in a stacked field. Like Lincoln East, there is not a lot of in-state competition to compare Mill Valley to. However, that lack of outside recognition could work in their favor and enable them to surprise a lot of people on Sunday.
