State Meet Preview - 1A & 2A

Girls 1A & 2A State Meet Preview

Individual

During the  2019 season there have been a few standout performances around the state in the girls 1A &2A. If you were to just look at the top 5k times from this season you would think that Melbourne High School's Kenley McCarn is the one to beat. She has the fastest 5k time of the season  but that was on a course that always produces fast times. Kenley ran 21:58 on the state meet course just a few weeks ago, which is almost 2 minutes faster than her 25th place finish at last years state meet. 

Sitting right behind Kenley is last years runner-up at the state meet, Maumelle Charter's Becca Beard. Becca ran 20:44 on the state meet course at the Lake Hamilton Invite a few weeks ago which is 18 seconds faster than her state time last year. 

Don't count out defending state champion Haley Gentry from West Side Greers Ferry HS. She ran 21:27 just a few weeks agon on the state meet course and will be in the mix with a mile to go. 

Other to keep an eye on: Abbey Linville from Rural Special, Ali Looney from Parkers Chapel, and Taylor Hooten from Quitman

Pick: Arkansas MileSplit is going with Becca Beard for the win to finish off her senior season!

1A&2A Girls 5k List


Team

The team battle looks to be a repeat from last year. Melbourne beat Quitman at last years state meet by 24 points (60-84). This year, the scores will be a little closer! Melbourne's top runner from last year, Kiley Webb, hasnt run all year and we have to assume that she wont be running in at state. If you look at all the times and the courses they were run on for both teams, this race really could come down to the 5th runner. 

Pick: Arkansas MileSplit is going with the upset! Quitman
