8. Alyssa Engeman - Appleton City, SR
PR - 2:30.42
Appleton City's Engeman does not get to run cross country in the fall, but her 2:30.42 is still a top 8 time regardless. Her first trip to the state meet last season proved fruitful in that she took 8th in the 800 ahead of some solid talents. She lands in our preseason rankings as a result!
7. Madison Chappetta - Lutheran (Kansas City), JR
PR - 2:31.75
Chapetta finally got her first career state medal when she sneaked into 25th in cross country this fall. She was the dreaded 9th this spring in the 800 and was also 13th in the 3200. With her 2:31.75 best, Chapetta appears to be a strong contender in the 800 this season.
