At its core, cross country is a rather team-oriented sport, and individual placement in any given meet field can make a significant difference in team title hopes.
That makes having a cohesive top-five group of runners crucial for success in team title races.
Among girls teams in the nation, a handful of programs have notably small spreads from their first runner to their fifth. For instance, seven teams have 1-through-5 splits under 20 seconds, with Preston (ID), Glastonbury (CT) and Rancho Cucamonga (CA) leading the way as programs with splits under 18 seconds.
Scroll below to view which other teams have tight packs among their top five runners.
