LOCAL TEAMS RECOGNIZED
By David S. Taylor, M.A.
Washington Powerhouses North Central High School and Ferris High School of Spokane, Washington were recently put on the radar in Milesplit’s Pre-Season Top 25 Rankings.
No girl’s teams made the list, which should add fire to the Eastlake and Stanwood Girls teams who return exemplary teams who should garner consideration before the season has ended.
Watch out for Western Washington Powerhouse Henry Jackson High School to also press hard upon Eastern Counterparts to claim top State honors. With four runners making the State Pre-Season Top 100 list, Henry Jackson could very well jump into the National mix and by Seasons end it is reasonable to assume that three boys teams could make the National Top 25 list!
The Saxons of Ferris High School fall in the rankings to National #10, despite receiving the top billing in Marc Blooms Harrier Rankings. Regardless of rankings glory is earned over hill and dale and certainly we all have reason to be optimistic about the Saxons prospects, but like everything in life, glory has to be earned. So take it as a reality check, hit the trails, log the miles, and claim what is yours through the blood, sweat, and tears of battle.
