Not counting for any surprises, the starting line at the WIAA girls state cross-country meet in October will have a lot of familiar faces.
Not only do all three division state champions return in Sara Mlodik from D.C. Everest, Faith Wehrman from New Berlin Eisenhower and Addy Duellman from Cochrane-Fountain City, but four of the top five finishers from both Division 1 and Division 2 and the top five finishers from Division 3 all return this season.
