Second Team
Elyse Borisko, Sophomore
Howard
The athlete had an impressive state championship race, in which she was the last of just 8 girls to clock under 20:00. She was the 2A State Runner-Up, second to Alison Smith, defeating Kristen Malloy.
Louise Hanallah, Junior
Winston Churchill
Hanallah leads the Second Team All-State girls roster, thanks to a superb ending to an already solid season. The junior often gets overlooked in the influx of talent that comes from Montgomery County, but her finishing time of 19:31.70, although still only the third best from Montgomery County, was the fifth best in the state.
Liya Kasimova, Junior
Severna Park
Severna Park's best had a bumpy season, but had several impressive showings, the most notable being her win at the Anne Arundel County Championships.

Halsey Sinclair, Senior
Blair
The 7x championship titleist had a surprisingly strong season, despite dissapointing losses at the Montgomery County and State Championships. She clocked at 19:25 at the Bull Run Invitational, second there only to Kristen Malloy's record-breaking run.

Michael Tousley, Senior
Bethesda-Chevy Chase
His third place finish at the Montgomery County Championships showed the depth of this runner, who led teammate Christopher Bowie most of the season. Dissapointing finishes at regional and state championships prevented him from ending the season on a high note.
