MEET RECAP: 2022 Early Bird 2-miler
Here is our pick: They have a very strong scoring five and looked too good to not be considered the favorite - Especially if Warren and Overby go 1 and 2. Simpson takes another win with Columbia in second.

It helps big-time having two low sticks such as Cartwright and Jackson, but as we all know, a full team is a make-up of five runners. Having one or two solid low sticks is always good to have, but a team's 3-5 can really decide the team's score at the end of the day.
Here is our pick: Hernando girls take the win, but beyond that, it will be tough to call as there are a lot of unknowns with this squad.
Don't be confused about where we stand with this team - We think Hernando is a good squad and we think everything will come together by the time the state meet rolls around, but their season opener will be a good way to gauge where the team's current fitness is.
