New Mexico Cross Country Countdown Series

#19 Centennial Hawks

Centennial Hawks have plenty of room to improve coming off a 14th place finish in the 2021 5A State Race. For a program that has seen its track and field program making a name for itself, so too can the cross country program that has found a way to consistently make state qualifying marks through district 3-5A that consists of a talented Alamogordo squad among plenty of cross-town rivals in Las Cruces. Aaliyah Schartzer leads the way for the Hawks as a 65th place finisher from the last state meet and boasting a personal best of 20:57. Other returners from that team include Jada Dean (96th in 2021), Adrianna Paz (94th in 2021), Deianira Hoyle (88th in 2021), and Danika Rodriguez (92nd in 2021). Centennial returns a good amount of production from last year's team which plays well in terms of experience for this season.
