Jessica Davis (Canyon Springs HS) went on a great end of the year run last season which is looked to be continued this year. She finished runner-up in both 100m and 200m at the NIAA 5A Southern Region meet, then took a trip to Nike Outdoor Nationals where she placed 1st in the prelim, and 2nd in the final.
The 1600m is interesting because among the Top 10 returners, only one girl is set to graduate at the end of this season. This appears to indicate that during this season, the competition within this event will be monopolized between a lineup of current underclassmen.
Don't forget about Tia Brown (Palo Verde HS), who is holding down the top returner spot in both 100m Hurd. and 300m Hurd. heading into this season. She finished 1st and 2nd in both events at the NIAA 5A State Championship meet last year.
INDEX: 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1600m, 3200m, 100m Hurd., 300m Hurd.
