3A Girls 3200

Two sophomores and a freshman: the bright near future of 3A distance running was on display at the 2019 state meet, and only the emergence of the COVID-19 virus could take away a three- or four-year stretch with some of these girls battling it out throughout the year. Back in 2019, Northern's Oakley Olson (having since moved to Utah) earned another state title for her mantle by holding off Towson's Madeline Till (shooting for the 800 title this weekend) and Manchester Valley's Rubie Goffena (going for 1600 and 3200 titles). We'll never get another rematch between this group of girls that might have had multiple chances to race against each other on the state level, but there will always be the exciting 3200 on a hot Friday in 2019.
