Of course she could lose, but Hedengren is obviously the prohibitive favorite now. Fully healthy and just a perfect season so far.
I don’t love making extreme declarations in the moment but this run has to be on the short list of greatest HS performances ever.
FWIW re: Addy Ritz: she is a great runner. But her national title last year isn’t a standard I will continue to measure her against. A sloppy NXN always produces odd results and I’m not sure that result would have occurred on a fairer day. Shes great thoufh.
