Super 25 national rankings |
Great American ROC entries |
Pre-season US#1 teams in Marc Bloom's Harrier Super 25 rankings are Saratoga Springs NY girls and York Elmhurst IL boys.
Saratoga has been #1 nine of the last 11 years, but faces a serious challenge this year from Smoky HIll Aurora CO, like Saratoga boasting two returning Foot Locker national finalists.
York, returning to national power with coach Joe Newton's best team since the Don Sage-led teams of the late 1990s, is picked to bump last year's top team, The Woodlands TX, down to #2. DyeStat has the complete Super 25 list this year, thanks to The Harrier. |
The Race of Champions at the Great American Cross Country Festival (Cary NC Oct 1-2) is the seeded race with the best teams and some elite individuals. It perennial includes a powerful lineup of some of the best teams in the country. Ten boys teams and 12 girls teams are ranked in the new NTN Regional Rankings. The girls ROC will feature the top two teams in the country in Marc Bloom's Harrier Super 25 pre-season list -- Saratoga Springs NY and Smoky Hill Aurora CO -- each with two returning runners from last year's Foot Locker national finals -- Nicole Blood (7th) and Lindsey Ferguson (26th) of Saratoga Springs and Katelyn Kaltenbach (1st) and Morgan Schulz (11th) of Smoky Hill. |
