KYtrackXC Power Rankings: Preseason Girls


7. Victoria Dotson (Rockcastle County - Sophomore)


We may have witnessed the breakout that Victoria Dotson has been waiting for! She wrapped up the cross country season with her first XC state title after running it for four seasons (yes she has run the state cross country meet since she was a seventh grader and never finished lower than 9th). She earned her first track state title in the 800m last outdoor season. However, with all of these titles, the most impressive thing I have witnessed from Dotson was her 800m win on the track at Nutter Field House at the UK High School Invitational. She dominated the field with a 2:12.83 and #13 in the nation mark. It was the only race she ran that day and you could tell! What lies ahead for Victoria? We will have to wait and see, but we do know that we have a lot more time to watch it as she is only a sophomore!
