We're posting every day for the next 30 days, highlighting some of the teams to watch for the upcoming fall season. Today: the squads that just missed our top 30.
We kick off a thirty-day buildup to the start of the fall season with a list of teams that just missed the cut for the top 30, but are worth watching.
If any girls team in the Southern Section can challenge the dominance of the Wolfpack, it will be Sydney Hwang's Claremont squad.
Defending Division 1 champ Great Oak doesn't top either the 3 Mile or the 5K returning rankings - but the Wolfpack had the best crew of returning 1600 runners in California this spring.
Will Granada be the team to challenge the dominance of the Southern Section girls' squads in 2018?
Dana Hills has five of their seven runners back from the squad that finished 3rd in division 1 - more than enough talent to be a contender for the title this fall.
2017 could have been the season to end the Great Oak streak, but Tori Gaitan and Fatima Cortes slammed the door shut on their challengers (and it might not open again for a while...)
St. Francis (Mountain View) has a load of talent back to defend the Division 2 title. Who else looks like a contender this far out from the start of the season?
It's now a summer tradition! We will count down the days to the start of the fall season by spotlighting one boys and one girls team each day.
We want to continue expanding our coverage all over the state, and we need more staff to get that done. Email jparenti@flosports.tv if you want to get paid for going to cross country races!
Where did Sondre Guttormsen's vaulting fall among our top 5, and who else made the list? Find out inside!
Accomplishing a feat that hasn't been done since 2000, and posting a US #3 time in the process? Yeah, that's good for the top of the list. Who else made it?
Who leads the rankings in every event for the Class of 2018?
Field event athletes were the hallmark of the Class of 2018 on the boys' side. Which recently-graduated seniors made the Top 200?
Was Maddy Denner's huge state meet enough to earn your vote? Who else made the poll?
Jocelynn Budwig (Fowler) was one of several state champions from the Class of 2019. Does she have your vote?
Caleb Roberson kept the hurdles legacy at Upland alive this season, and has one more year to build on it. Who else leads the rankings?
Alysah Hickey of Coronado brought home a state championship in the long jump, while also placing 4th in the high jump.
Tori Gaitan was the top soph in California in the 1600 and 3200, ranking 4th in the nation for both among the Class of 2020. Is that enough to hold off the other talented 10th-graders in this poll?
Malcolm Clemons led the nation in the long jump this spring, and he still has two years left!
The best girls from California's Class of 2020 ranked in every event.
The top 200 boys from California's Class of 2020 in every event.
Rachel Glenn led the overall state rankings in the high jump, finished in a tie for 1st at the state meet, and ranks 2nd in the nation among sophomores.
Colin Peattie leads all freshmen in California and across the nation in the 1600! Who else reached the top of the lists for the Class of 2021?
The two graduated seniors will now be eligible for consideration in the National Athlete of the Year competition.
Great Oak has a potentially historic crew of distance runners returning, and the Wolfpack also has talent outside the distances - but will it be enough to contend for Southern Section dominance?
Caleb Foster and Clovis North will be back strong for 2019, and may have a chip on their shoulder after 2018 did not go 100% as planned.
Sheldon's Imani Dupree has unfinished business lingering from this season, but she has two more years to come back and take care of it.
Malcolm Clemons will be back for TWO MORE YEARS! Which other stars return, and who will be in position to step up into a bigger role in 2019?
