4x400-
Meet Record: Frankfort (Lincoln-Way East) 3:55.95
2016 State Best: Lincoln-Way East 3:59.50
Championship Field: Downers South 4:05.5, Lane Tech 4:04.0, Lincoln-Way East 3:54.0, Lincoln-Way East B 4:00.0, New Trier 4:04.8 Neuqua Valley 4:05.7
Outlook: Lincoln-Way East may get a bit more resistance here on the strength of the Griffins not having a star 400 runner. They may actually fall behind if Lane Tech, Downers South and especially Neuqua Valley lead off with senior Samara Miller. Miller is a star in the 400 that her coaches could deploy the 55-second right potential to clear themselves of the field. The Wildcats will be real dangerous at the end of the outdoor season, but why not try and go dragon slaying right now?! Downers Grove South has Michaela Hackbarth who has great 400 speed as does Lane's Imani Davis. We could see 3-4 teams go under 4:00.
