“Unbeaten inside Idaho in both the 1600 and 3200 this season, Nelah Roberts’ domination in the latter event spanned her entire prep career. A four-time state champion at 3200 meters, including breaking the state record this spring, she never lost a race at that distance in high school. Already a two-time Gatorade POY award winner in cross country, she’s the clear choice to win her first POY award on the oval.”
