The 4A girl's team race may be a lopsided one this year. The Green Hope girls are young, talented, and on paper are head's above the rest. They return 4 girls who have cracked 18:45, with their #5 at 19:04. With that 5, they will most likely be looking at reaching Nike Team Nationals this year and representing NC and the Southeast.
However, even with all their talent, there may be one other team that can go head to head with their 1-4. The Cary HS girls have proven themselves in the 4x800 and DMR during the track season. Hopefully their success on the track will lead to big things this XC season because they seem to have the potential to be a wonderful team as well. With no girls under 12:00 in the 3200m, it's obvious the focus during track is on the mid-distance events.
Another very talented team, full of youngsters, rising juniors and sophomores, is the team from the mountains. Watauga's top 5, on paper, doesn't contain a rising senior which is scary for 2 years from now. These girls ran well during track with 3 girls under 12:00.
Finally, another team to look out for will be Myers Park. MP is only 9th on paper but it seems their returning ladies improved a good bit during the track season. They had 5 girls run 12:10 or better and may have a pack rolling together this season.
Obviously, don't ever count out TC Roberson.

As far as individuals go, Sammy George of 
Millbrook is the obvious favorite and possibly a future Foot Locker finalist this year, too. Following her could be a good battle. Ardrey Kell's, Kaitlyn Kramer, cracked 18:00 at Foot Locker last year and has the only only other sub-18 returning time. She will most likely be joined by a few others, such as: TC Roberson's Brooke Gordon, Reagan's Kristen Henson, Davie County's Anna McBride, East Chapel Hill's Alison Smith, any of the Green Hope girls, Mount Tabor's Margaret Leak . . . I'll stop there as this coming season could see a lot of breakthrough's on the female side. I predict a very fast year among the 4A girl's competition! Here's a look at the top 25 returning runners by time.
On the boy's side, look for another year of "Who's #1?". I have a feeling this season will see a number of teams battling for the top spot. Most likely the 4A state meet will come around and we'll have no idea who the favorite is supposed to be.
Leesville Road holds the #1 spot in the rankings, but with a decent track season, they may not be the favorites. Aaron Smith had a solid track season and may be their top returning runner.
West Johnston is #2 on paper, but with a new school opening up and losing another runner to NCSSM, they may not be as good as they appear. Look out for Chris Garrett though, he will be in the mix at the top of the 4A classification.
Honestly, no team really jumps off the paper when looking at the track season rankings. This is what makes the upcoming XC season such a great one. Myers Park seems to always run well at Wendy's (where most of the following PR's are from), but they don't seem to hold it together all the way through the state meet. You can always count on Broughton and Green Hope to be near the top and I don't see any change in that one. A couple teams to watch out for that are either new to the scene or back on scene are: Jack Britt, TC Roberson, & Watauga. TC Roberson has seen a lot of improvement from their boys during the last year and I truly would look out for them.

Based on last year and track season, Blake Williams of Northern Durham should run away with the individual title. Blake was a Foot Locker finalist last year and ran a blazing 14:52 at McAlpine, just 6 seconds off the all-time best by a NC boy. However, all the talk is that there is no coach at Northern Durham . . . I'm sure that will change. There are some other boys who really stepped it up during the track season and will most likely have great XC seasons. Ryan Walling of Green Hope is the #2 returning XC runner and also ran 4:14, 9:26, and 1:57 open races during track. As I mentioned earlier, also look out for West Johnston's Chris Garrett. Obviously, Wakefield's Mitch Mallory is going to be one to watch as well. He dropped a 9:14 outdoors and should be ready to shoot for sub-15:00 next year.
Here's a look at the top 15 returning boys based on last year:
