2009 MileSplit Pre-Season Cross Country Rankings
|
|
GIRLS: One of the great girls programs in recent US history, Saugus, CA, looks to improve upon a US#2 performance in 2007 & 2008. Stacked once again, 2009 could produce the best team in US history. Next stop, a rematch with 3-time National Champion Fayetteville Manlius, NY.
|
|
BOYS: The legacy lives on as York, IL seeks to bring another National Championship home to Illinois. The Long Green Line has regrouped and is ready to take aim at another exciting prep cross country season. Look for the '07 US#3 to avenge last years state championship loss.

Girls Darkhorse: TORREY PINES, CA; This exciting team burst onto the scene at the 2008 California State Cross Country Championships with a stellar 91:11 total team time. Finishing #3 all-time over the state course and less than one second from NXN invitee Dana Hills a National Championship invite seemed inevitable. That was not the case, Torrey Pines returns 6 of 7 and looks to avenge the '07 NXN snub.
|
| Boys Darkhorse: FERRIS, WA; Much prognostication has come to the surface for the '06 US#3 Saxons. Word has come out of Spokane of a team who is shattering pre-season training workout records. Featuring several sub 9:20 two-miles and 800m specialist Justin Zimmerman, Ferris may perhaps be the team to beat. However, they will need to race their way to the top of the rankings. Watch as another Spokane Valley squad seeks to bring another title to the Inland Empire. |
