"The girls were 3 points off of 3A powerhouse Timberlake, and beat league rivals Moscow and Lakeland - in our first chance racing against both teams together this season. Moscow kept the scoring close with a solid performance and will be the team to beat for the Regional Title. Everyone took advantage of our opportunity to race and review this course today, noting what we will adjust and how we will move forward into the races on the 18th. Solid pack running, smart course strategy with the volume of corners in this venue and GRIT will be key. The battle for the Regional Championships will be an exciting one to watch as both teams are running extremely well," said Coach Angie Brass.</p>
