Yesterday, we took a quick look at the top boys (defined as those who finished with a top ten time from the combined state meet) who will be toeing the the starting line at Nike Cross Southwest. And we will use the same easy criterion with the girls.

Following is your list of entries:

Nevada - Karina Haymore, Centennial (1); Kayla Roberts, Centennial (7)

Arizona - Allie Schadler, Rio Rico (1); Sarah Carter, Xavier College Prep (2); Emily Crall, Desert Vista (3); Maya Smith, Northland Prep (4); Jesselyn Bries, Sandra Day O'Connor (5); Tessa Weiss, Xavier College Prep (6); Alexis Nichols, Chandler (8); Courtney Lewis, Flagstaff (9); Kassidy Deardorff, Deer Valley (10)

Utah - Courtney Wayment, Davis (1); Whitney Rich, Bingham (3); Aubrey Argyle, Davis (4); Sara Musselman, American Fork (5); Kate Hunter, Provo (6); Sophie Baird, American Fork (7)

Unlike the boys, there was no state that managed to send all of their top ten finishers from state, but Arizona comes closest, sending nine.
