Grace Dreitz will look to build on her already impressive resume in her sophomore year. As an eighth grader, she debuted at XC State with a 17th place finish and followed it up by taking sixth with a PR of 18:30.5, the eighth best time among class A returners. Growth continued in track as well where she made her third consecutive State Meet appearance in the 1600m and added a second straight berth in the 800m. She lowered her track PRs to 2:16.91/5:03.36 while earning second and fifth place state medals. Regularly going under 19 minutes last fall and improved freshman track numbers in the spring signal Dreitz as one to watch this season.
