These are subjective rankings (not computer generated) they take into account returning team rankings, team rankings in the 1600 and 3200 from outdoor track, and a school's "Improvement Rating." Improvement Rating is a metric developed by researching the improvement in a team's final place at State from 2011-2013. Each category is given rank points and added up coming to a final point total. Some squads made up for high point totals, getting ranked higher by virtue of number of returners (top 7) and by fastest returning XC team average. Not all XC runners do Track (Soccer mostly) which can affect Outdoor team rankings, but generally not the top 5-7 teams)
3A Boys Pre-Season #3- Oconee County
The 2001 4A State Championship Team
Its going seem like deja' vu for those who were/still are associated with the program back in the 'hey days' when 3A-4A runners were chasing those 'damn blues' with the giant Warrior emblem on their backs pulling away and cowbells ringing. Oconee did something they haven't done in years last season besting Hog Mtn Road rival North Oconee and that momentum should carry into this Fall. The Warriors return a solid top 4 including Michael Hans, Jon Gogal, Marshall Reed and Issac Krumm. If their 5-7 can close the gap Oconee will return to the Podium and perhaps the title.
