New Trier went exceptionally slow at sectionals for a relay that can win state. In fact you have to go back ten years when Fenwick was 3:34 at sectionals and won in 3:25 to find a slower eventual state champion. Every other relay broke 3:32 at sectionals. This is all to say that I am nervous about this pick, but New Trier has Carly Novelline and it’s hard to pick against someone that could pop a 47 split. I do think this will be a real battle for top 6, but there aren’t many teams that realistically will crash top 12 that aren’t listed. As discussed in the Meet Program Preview there is no depth in this event at all.
