Just like Weini Kelati, Emma is going to prove that you can have an "off" season and come back stronger than ever. Though Emma had to take some time to get 100% healthy, she definitely did not lose anything from that time off. In fact, that time could have made her stronger and more prepared for an epically tough 5A state race.

With Ava Hassebrock as a training partner and a state title already in her trophy cabinet it wouldn't surprise us to see Emma more relaxed and better than ever. She has run 17:55 to win a state title but her most impressive performance is her 17:59 performance at the Oatlands course. That time ranks second all-time behind Weini Kelati and just trust us, it is one of the most impressive runs ever in Virginia.
Last year she was not at that level but now with a full 15 plus months of good training under her belt she will no doubt be in even better shape come Oatlands and states. Though she enters as #7 on our list, she could end up at #1 by the time those results are official on September 16th at Oatlands.
#8 - Ava Hassebrock (Tuscarora)
#7 - Emma Wolcott (Tuscarora)
