Cross Country season has officially started, but we are still a few weeks away from any serious meets, so it's a little bit of a mystery how things will stack up this fall. But what we can do is look back on what kids did last year and how they project to do this year based on who returns for each team. This is never a perfect ranking because it doesn't account for injured runners, transfers, fast freshmen, etc... But it gives us an idea of how things stack up in each classification going into the season. Also keep in mind that these rankings are based on PR from last year and some teams ran faster courses than others which could skew them a little bit.
Up next is class 6A Boys where Marist comes in as a pretty solid favorite. They have a very strong 1-2-3 punch and just enough depth at 4-5 that they'll be hard to beat if fully healthy. But there's not much room for error and their main contender will be Blessed Trinity ...
