Two-time defending 4A Cross Country Finals state champion Bailey Hertenstein will be one of the top Florida entrants at this weekend's Foot Locker South Regional. Hertenstein DNF'ed last year's race, only the second time in her career she didn't finish a race, and third time of over 20 races she didn't win. Dating back to the 2014 Cross Country Finals where she was 15th, Hertenstein has not lost a race in over two years. (Photo by Jeff Adams)
