Analysis

Looking at last years teams, this could likely be one of the best out of any of them. They return all 7 from last year's state meet. WIth Ava Gilliana as their frontrunner, this team will look to grab a podium finish this season. Whenever the NP semi-state is discussed it's nearly impossible to not have Valpo at or near the top of the list every time. And the same should go this year for the state list. Lower-end big improvement will greatly help this squad this year as well.
