Emily Carter (Bethel Park) - Mile, 3K
Carter, coming off a breakthrough XC season in the fall, enters the week as the sixth seed in the mile and the sixth seed in the 3,000 meters. She'll have a great shot to earn a pair of state medals, particularly in a wide open 3K field. She's proved that she can successfully pull off that double in a meet; at the TSTCA Championships, Carter won both the mile and 3K.
She has a season best of 5:04.46 in the mile and 10:03.81 in the 3K. She was 11th at XC states in AAA and should be a serious factor for more state medals on Sunday.
