The girls on the First Team were pretty easy to select, but as you move out of the top 7 there are some interesting and difficult comparisons to make.
We've been tracking the top performers in the state all season (as have you, I imagine), and it's time to name the NCRunners All-State teams! These athletes are being recognized for their performances over the course of the whole season, with extra weight given to performances in the championship and postseason. This is one man's opinion - feel free to name your own candidates in the forum!
