One thing that is becoming very apparent in deciding middle school runners 'Who Won the Week' is that the same girls and boys race almost every weekend. The question is, are these young athletes being over-raced this early in the season? The Middle School state championships are still almost 5 weeks away, which is the grand prize to be attained for any of these 'Elite' middle schoolers.
