Defending NCISAA 4A State Champions Providence Day returns as the overall top team among NCISAA. However, last season's 4th place team from the NCISAA 4A State Meet falls only a point behind them. Cary Academy returns 5 of their 7 runners from last season's team. Providence Day loses 2 of their top 3 to graduation but returns the favorite to win the individual title, Christian Landis.
As the NCHSAA delays until November, we will delay the Top 25 Team Countdown and start, for the first time, a Top 10 Subjective NCISAA Pre-Season Team Countdown! Check back tomorrow for the #10 Boys and Girls teams coming into the NCISAA season!
