Anytime the Bentonville distance team races, it can be considered a "big-time" meet. From the two-time Gatorade Cross Country Girls Player of the Year Haley Loewe to the NXN National qualifying boys distance team, the Bentonville Tigers are always a show.
Sloan Jones and Solara Koser are two of the most accomplished athletes in the Natural State and will have a chance to quickly assert themselves atop the rankings in their respective events.
Considering the schools attending this early season showcase, expect many of the top marks following the March 1st event to come from Fayetteville.
