Taylor Ewert (So., Beavercreek HS; Beavercreek OH)- A nationally ranked junior steeplechaser and race walker has evolved as a real good cross country runner this season. Ewert ran well during the course of the season in Ohio which was very tough on the girls side. Dropping her all time personal best in the 5k to 17:34 means serious business. Surprisingly is the fact that Ewert improved so much since the conventional track season. It is a good bet that she is better than her personal bests 11:22 and 5:11 right now. Without giving up on the steeple for the post-season, Ewert undoubtedly will be in the 10:30s for sure in 2018. But keeping it on the grass, Ewert still has one great race in her and that will be on Saturday in Portland.
