This 5A matchup truly will be a sight to see on Saturday as all the heavy hitters will be competing. You have the dominant Leah Futey getting one more chance at a state cross country title with her team also in contention. Defending 5A champ Ellary Battle ran away on the track last year and returns just as capable. Albuquerque high's Dani Figueroa has remained on Futey's side all season long and performed well to a runner-up finish last time around. Volcano Vista's Carysa Marquez remains a top contender along with Nicole Pierce of Piedra Vista. Also having a breakout year includes Eliana Rivera of Cleveland that likes to go out early with teammate Futey and has shown to be a top-ten finisher. So many ways to slice this race its guranteed to be a hard fought contest for the title of 5A champion!
