Bauman-Rovn Headlines a Busy Thursday Meet Line-up

Location: Commons Park, Fridley

Weather: 77°, partly sunny

BOYS

Virtual Meet Projections: Spring Lake Park (35), Holy Family Catholic, (50, Saint Anthony Village (80)
Individuals to watch: Owen Erickson (Spring Lake Park, 17:11.0), Tyler Franck (Holy Family, 17:37.7), Connor McCoy (Fridley, 17:38.1)

The Skinny: The team competition looks to be a two team race with Spring Lake Park as the projected favorite over Holy Family on an advantage at the fifth man. Junior Owen Erickson of Spring Lake Park has the fastest PR but the field has seven runners who have broken 18 minutes and 10 more with a PR within 15 seconds so it's plausible that it could be a very open race once everyone is out of the starting boxes.

GIRLS

Virtual Meet Projections: Spring Lake Park (30), Saint Anthony Village (32), Park Center (86)
Individuals to watch: Kaitlyn Finnegan (Spring Lake Park, 19:22.0), Jenna Terrio (Spring Lake Park, 19:59.0), Samantha Solboe (St Anthony Village, 20:28.0)

The Skinny: Our projections have Spring Lake Park with a slight advantage over St Anthony Village based specifically on SLP going 1-2 individually. Sophomore Kaitlyn Finnegan (19:22) and senior Jenna Terrio (19:59) of SLP are the only returners that have broken 20 minutes. However, St Anthony Village looks to have a potential advantage at the fifth spot so any shake ups in the top 10, in or out of the top two teams, could change the team on top at the end of the day.
