4. Aspyn Britt - Gainesville, SR
PR - 5:37.97 (2015)
3. Meredith O'Neal - South Shelby, JR
PR - 5:31.10 (2016)
O'Neal dropped a 5:31.10 for 5th her freshman year, but was unable to recapture that magic in 2017 as she finished in the dreaded 9th in 5:42.75. With a 2:28 800 best, we see O'Neal as a candidate to return to that success this spring and build upon her freshman success. Call it a sophomore slump - O'Neal will be back this spring and should make a run at the top 3 in the Class 2 1600.
