Just in case you've been under a rock this week, we've been running a bracket-style tournament this week where NCRunners fans can vote for the best cross country program in state history. We gathered 16 boys' and girls' programs that all had at least 6 state championships over their school's history. Then we let YOU vote for each two-team match-up through 4 rounds of voting, culminating with the final competition over the last 24 hours! The result is a people's champion, the survivor after well over 20,000 total votes were cast throughout the week.
Just to keep an objective opinion, we have also added our own top 5 lists. Is the argument settled? Probably not, but now you have some new information to add to the ongoing discussion!
See all 4 rounds of voting here!
