AA Girls' 4x800m Relay Preview
Familiar AA rivals from District 4 and District 6 will battle it out for the top spot this weekend in the AA 4x800 meter relay.
The top seed comes from District 6, Central Cambria, with a time of 9:32.08 and PA-AA#1. The Central Cambria ladies are the defending state champions in this event, but they will have some tough competition this year. Not far behind them will be another District 6 team, Marion Center Area.
District 4 rivals of Lewisburg Area and Mifflinburg have also posted top 4x800 times this season. At districts last weekend, Mifflinburg came away with the win, but can they beat Lewisburg area again?
It should be a very close race for gold seeing that the top four relay teams have all run within 4 seconds of one another. Don't count out Quaker Valley and Our Lady of Sacred Heart from the WPIAL.Entries:
