Has Brewer made a college choice yet?
ReplyDeleteGood question. I have not heard but will see if I can find out. I am also interested to see how she does this year after running XC for the first time. I thought she had a very competitive season (NCS Division I champion) and she should be improved, especially in the 800.
ReplyDeleteAlyssa has not yet decided her college choice.
ReplyDeleteMatt Strangio was 15th not 10th at NXN
