RunWV’s Individual Cross-Country Pre-Season
Rankings
Season: 2017
Event: 5000 Meters
(5K)
Grades: Returning
Senior’s, Junior’s, Sophomore’s From 2016 Cross Country Season
Class: AAA Girls
As the 2017 Cross Country season approaches teams throughout the state are gearing up to make a run at individual and team championships. In West Virginia, awards are awarded to the top two teams in each classification, while the Top 10 individuals in Class AAA and Top 10 individuals in Class AA/A will receive an award plus All-State honors.
The 2017-2018 cross country season starts on Monday, July 31st, while the 1st contest may be held on Saturday, August 19th. The Regional meet can be held Thursday-Saturday of October 19th-21st, while the State Meet will be held on Saturday, October 28th at Cabell Midland High School in Ona, West Virginia.
In Class AAA Girls, there were only three runners who graduated this past spring that were ranked in the Top 25 of RunWV’s Individual Cross-Country Rankings.
Below are the Top 20 ranked runners returning from the 2016 cross country season. Please keep in mind that this pre-season ranking has nothing to do with how a runner finished at last year’s West Virginia High School State Cross Country Championship. The only thing that matters is how a runner performs against other ranked runners.
In this list, you will find the Top 10 ranked individual runners, then the next ten that’s ranked outside of the Top 10. I will show you how they fared during last cross-country season, post cross-country season and this past track season. You will also find their personal records for each event. Please note that last year’s final ranking score is listed in parentheses.
Note: There’s no
incoming freshman listed in the pre-season rankings.
Go to the “Cross Country” tab, then hit the “CC Runner Rankings” tab to see how the “Ranking System” works.
