4A West Region Boys
Rohann Asfaw (Richard Montgomery) 15:34
The best of Montgomery County will become the best of the 4A West Regional, which is simply a smaller version of their county meet but with the largest schools within it. Richard Montgomery junior Rohann Asfaw is coming off his dominant 15:34 5K PR win at the county championships and returns to a course that he won comfortably a few weeks back at the Coyote Run held on the High Point Farm course in Clarksburg with a 16:04 victory.
All of the sub 16 minute performers from last Monday's county meet will be in the 4A West Regional race as Northwood's Michael Abebe figures to lead the chase pack after Asfaw following his 15:50 runner-up run at the Montgomery County Championships. Abebe had moved up to 4A this year with his school after being one of the top finishers in last year's 3A state race. Wootton's Colin Sybing, Northwest's Branson Oduor, and Churchill's Mitchell Welter all come into regionals with lots of confidence after their first sub 16 minute performances.
