Track Prospects 2013: 3A Girls

Any way you look at it, if Anna Duvall and Amanda Babicke are healthy when the state meet rolls around in the middle of May, their performances on the big stage are going to have a lot to do with the final team outcome. A lot, but not quite everything.

As good as Duvall and Babicke are, neither is good enough to carry a state title solely on the strength of their own shoulders. Which makes it a very good thing for both that they have several teammates capable of adding a few state meet points to their respective team totals.

When you put everything together, the preseason advantage appears to be shared about equally between Hope Christian and Pojoaque Valley. And that one fact alone should be sufficiently tantalizing to keep things interesting until we start actually running and scoring a few meets.

But, neither Hope nor Pojoaque yet has a death grip on this thing. Especially figuring that relays play so prominently in New Mexico scoring, any of several other teams with five or six potential solid state scorers could make a legitimate run at the state title. Nobody should be discounting hopes for Taos, Bloomfield, Socorro, Ruidoso, Sandia Prep, Portales, Robertson, West Las Vegas, or Hot Springs.

Kind of makes you want to stick around and see what actually happens this spring, doesn't it?
