This past season was also a slight change for Mia, who got one season to run with her sister Hana in 2019. Instead of being part of the sister act at Flagstaff -- Hana placed first and Mia third at the 2019 state title meet -- Mia got her chance to lead the Eagles' flock at races. It was different because when I'm out there by myself, I have to pace myself to find the right pace and keep a pace going. Mia's first-place mark at the D-II level was ahead of two freshmen in second and third along with a sophomore in fourth. The year prior, in 2019 as a freshman, Mia recorded seven top-three finishes and two first-place finishes.
