Weekend Notes: Is Crown Point the Second Best Team in the State?

We are going with another team that was third without being full strength. The LaPorte Slicers are incredibly deep this year with their entire top seven having gone under 20 minutes already. The only other team to do so is Carmel. Also, if you take out Carmel, they have the fastest third runner (Jenny Noll, 19:05). The only girl for the Slicers that we didn't see this weekend was Shelby Riehle. The freshman was second on the team at the Penn Invitational last week. If she finishes around their top three, this team wins the meet by a sizable margin over very solid Lake Central and Zionsville squads. Keep an eye on this team.
