Abby Vanderkooi knows how to compete when it comes to the important races, my goodness!
Earlier this season we saw Dudek crush the competition and beat Taylor Ewert and Vanderkooi at the MSU Spartan invite.
At state Vanderkooi won her division, but seemed like she didn't have a good race. She finished over a minute behind Dudek who ran in another division.
NXR Midwest we saw an epic battle with KK Hart and Dudek both running under 17 (new course record as well) and beating Taylor Ewert who finished 3rd at NXN last year.
Today at FL Midwest, Vanderkooi had the upper hand and beat all of them. She finished 3rd at FL Nationals last year so I wouldn't count her out to have a big performance again at FL Nats.
