The individual battle at the Texas Class 6A state meet should be between No. 9 ranked Reed Brown and No. 14 Sam Worley, who traded wins in the 3200m and 1600m at the outdoor state championship. Brown, an Oregon commit, has better cross country credentials as he placed 16th at Foot Locker Nationals and 14th at NXN last fall while Worley was 75th at NXN and failed to qualify for the state meet in 2015.
Brown has seen a lot more competition so far than Worley --he's had to fend off upstart sophomore Alex Maier of Flower Mound in his last few races, as well as No. 24 ranked Daniel Bernal. Could No. 18 ranked Maier pull off a super upset on Saturday?
