Julian ran 11:09 in the 3200. Two juniors from the eastern part of the state ran 10:35 and 10:38 to take the top two places.
Julian saved energy for the 3200. She also had qualified for the 1600, but did not compete in that event. Her seed time was 5:17.97. She may have placed in the 1600, but the 3200 was definitely her best chance to make an impact.
Julian also competed with her teammates on South’s 4×800 team. They finished ninth in 10:26.19. That group includes Madalynn Gulledge, Makenna Barham and Gracie Hinson. None of them are seniors.
South did not have any boys qualifiers.
