2. Holden
Location: Holden, MO
Enrollment: 396
Head Coach: Dale Wescott
2016 District (Place): 7 (1st)
2016 State Place: 2nd
Key Top 7 Returners: Camille Gudde (1), Alice Evans (2), Valorie Slack (4), Bailey Lohe (5), Kinadie Jones (6), Krista Burns (7)
Camille Gudde will be a sneaky solid pick out of Holden to make a run at top 5. With Alice Evans right behind her - a 3 time all-stater and 5:30/11:37 girl - as a preseason #2, Holden has a pretty strong top duo. Losing only their #3, Holden returns 6/7 of the contingent that took 2nd at the state meet last year. Their entire top 5 is under 22 and would be a Class 2 powerhouse if it wasn't for our #1 team. Holden will look to make their 5th straight trip to the big dance and grab their 2nd ever trophy.
