The Top 12 Events To Watch At The UK High School Indoor Invitational

1-Mile

This race marks the return of Katelynne Hart from the outdoor season, where she picked up two top five finishes at Nike Cross Nationals and Foot Locker Nationals and was recognized as one of three finalists for the Gatorade National Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year Award. A year ago, the Glenbard West (IL) High freshman broke a class record in the 2-mile, destroying a mark that had held since 1998. 

Can she make some magic happen here again? The 1-mile might be a little out of her range -- especially considering she likely hasn't done much speed work -- but for reference the sophomore national record is 4:43.23, which was set by Nevada Mareno back in 2015 -- if you're wondering, North Rockland's Katelyn Tuohy was just off that mark in her Millrose Games trials race, going 4:43.62. Hart will definitely get quality competition here, too, as Starcher is coming off a big win and set an indoor PR at the SPIRE Scholastic Showcase last week.
