No. 13: Barrington (IL)
- - -
Analysis: Returning a strong squad, led by Illinois state champion Scout Storms, that finished 4th at last year's NXR Midwest Regional, the Barrington girls will look for some redemption after coming up just short of an Illinois state title last fall and a berth to NXN. They return five of their varsity runners, including four of their top five. Their current top-five average of 18:28 ranks #22 heading into the season, a number boosted by #1 runner Storm's 3-mile PR of 16:38.
The Barrington girls recently started their season off with a dual meet, which saw Barrington win with a perfect score and an 18:56 average for the 3-mile race.
