The Spartans have a history of greatly exceeding their preseason database rankings, so when the database actually has them at #1 you have to pay attention.
The 6-time defending 4A state champs were the best in state history last year, and they've gotten better since then.
It's that time again! The summer ritual is back, leading us up to the official start of cross country practice on August 1st.
G'Jasmyne Butler led 4 Leesville Road girls under 5:20 this spring - and that doesn't count the indoor national champion, Nevada Mareno! Can the Pride bring all that track power to bear on the course this fall?
Has anybody shown more improvement than Henry Pehr since cross country season finished? He was key to Green Hope's top ranking here, and that could mean a big jump forward in the fall.
Which xc teams made the biggest leap forward during track season? One candidate is Chapel Hill, as the Tigers had strong results in both the 3200 and 1600.
Even with Mitch Resor only running the race twice during outdoor season, Weddington showed great returning depth in the 3200. Will that translate into a strong fall season?
Same question as in past years: who can dethrone the Falcons in the midst of their historic streak? A better, more frightening, and maybe more realistic question: is this the best Green Hope girls team yet?
Broughton's boys finished the 2014 season as both the current champions and the top-ranked returning team. Can anyone challenge their streak?
