Kayla Young

The top girls performances delivered at the Liberty Bell Cross Country Invitational in meet history.

Malibu's Claudia Lane (CA) cruised to a 17:03.40 en route to victory at Foot Locker Nationals in 2017, posting the 18th fastest time run at Balboa Park.

The same Denver North girls who staked out an intimidating early lead at the St. Vrain Invitational in September are headed for Wisconsin this weekend.

Not surpisingly, Brie Oakley owns the top time on the current configuration of the Norris Penrose/Bear Creek course.

As best as we can tell, Josh Torres posted the fastest high school time of the 4th of July holiday with a 15:56 for 5K in Greeley. File photo by Alan Versaw.

Maria Mettler was reportedly sick. You'd have never known it by her performances.

Lauren Offerman, Kasey Klocek, and Maria Mettler are just three of the faces in an absolutely loaded 4A Girls 1600 field.

Fairview's Hannah Freeman has been one of the mainstays of the Class of 2017 Distance, and especially so at 800 meters.

Simone Watkins is just one of the reasons Denver East figures to be a potent force on the track this spring.

KJ Sapp probably won't get through the season with much anonymity this spring.

You had to see it to believe it.

Kayla Young closed out her high school cross country career, and the high school season, at Foot Locker Nationals on Saturday.
