KY Girls Performance of the Week (10/14 - 10/20)
During the final week before Region Championships, we saw several marquee races before closing it with the KTCCCA Championships on Sunday where several of our athletes got a chance to see the State course. With that said, here are the candidates for Performance of the week.
The first nominee is Baili Hoten of Thomas Nelson, The Sophomore ran away from the field late behind a dominating back half of the race where she was able to defeat Isabella Day by 20 seconds en route to a Mid Kentucky Athletic Conference Championship with a time of 18:04.
The second nominee is Bailee Montgomery of Dupont Manual. The Junior won by 50 secs with an impressive 18:07 performance at the Yared Nuguse JCPS Championships. With her first win of the season, Montgomery looks to be a major threat to win the 3A State Championship.
The third nominee is Gabby Ault of St. Mary. Ault ran a very nice race winning by about 20 seconds and running a season's best 20:03.
The fourth nominee is Charli Gerrein of Beechwood. One of the marquee races this week was the KTCCCA High School Meet of Champions where most of the teams slated to run held out their top athletes. However, that didn't stop Gerrein as she ran well past the field, winning by 20 seconds. With Gerrein's confidence growing, this Beechwood team will be tough to beat come the first weekend of November.
