The top two performers in each event will receive an invite to state, which to most athletes is their goal.
For Athens Christian, the Lady Eagles think they have a shot to send someone in just about every event.
"We're pretty good all the way across the board in almost every event," Athens Christian coach Tim Cummings said. "We've got a chance to send somebody to state and maybe two people to state in most events, so that's our strength."

If she can reach that mark at the region meet, she is almost certain to head to state and try for a state record.
