Harrier tabs Los Alamos NM girls, The Woodlands TX boys #1 in pre-season rankings
Los Alamos NM girls leapfrog Saratoga NY to US#1 starting the season in Marc Bloom's 2003 pre-season lists in The Harrier magazine. Los Alamos came to national consciousness late last year when they scored a perfect 15 in their state meet. Then their top two girls, Heather Wood and Kristen Hemphill, ran 6th and 12th in the Foot Locker West regional at Mt. SAC. Everyone is back as they try to deny Saratoga its 8th US#1 ranking in 11 years.

On the boys side, The Woodlands TX is pre-season #1 as they were last year before Mountain View Orem UT toppled them in the DQ-tainted Great American.

We're Number One!
