On The Bubble: 10 Girls XC Runners On The Verge Of Flo50


Athlete: Caitlin Collier
School: Bolles, FL
Graduation Year: 2018

Caitlin Collier finished just outside of qualifying for NXN last fall with a seventh-place finish at NXN Southeast. It's a battle to fight for those top six spots, but the rising senior at The Bolles School in Florida reached another level on the track this year as she ran 2:04.89 for 800m and 4:19 for 1500m. The six-time Florida Class 2A state champion on the track will also look for her first state crown in cross country: last year, she was in the lead but collapsed just out of reach of the finish line and ultimately took runner-up honors.
