Tahoe-Truckee HS Skyler Flora (far left) lead from start to finish in the 2013 Sparks Invitational XC. Her teammate Gabrielle Rinne, a star middle distance track runner, and to Skyler's right finshed second.
You may very well be looking at the 2013 Nevada NIAA HS XC Team Champions for Division 1-A.
Elko HS, consistently strong year after year, will have returning individual champion, Shelby Dorsa, but the higher level of competiton in Northern California and Nevada will work in favor of Truckee as Skyler Flora who appears to have no equal except for Reno HS Kyra Hunsberger who looks every bit to be the next Mel Lawrence (Reno HS and 3x state XC champion and earning All American status at least one year that I know of while running for University of Washington).
Skyler already have bested Douglas HS Lindsey Adams, 2011 large school XC Champion at the Reed Invitational XC run a week earlier.
Tahoe-Truckee HS placed 1-2-3 in the 2013 Sparks Invitational XC held at Rancho San Rafael Park in Reno, NV on October 18.
Running under ideal conditions.. Truckee beat consistently strong Galena HS (Division 1) running away in a convincing fashion.
Bring on the good stuff..licorice because pop corn ain't going to cut in when State Championships come around.
