NCHSAA 3A Preseason Team Rankings

Both the boys' and girls' lists have two close teams at the top, with the same school in the #1 slot to start the season.

 

These rankings are drawn exclusively from returning best times from the 2011 cross country season.  If a school does not have 5 returning runners in the database, they will not appear in the rankings.  Also, if runners do not have graduation years entered, they will not be counted in returning rankings, and that can cause teams to not show in the rankings.  Coaches can fix this by A) submitting regular-season results so that all team members have marks, and B) entering grad years for each athlete.
