Despite 9 out of 10 and then 21 out of 25 runners coming back for a brand new season, it is like playing a game of Russian roulette. In other words, it is incredibly hard to predict what is going to happen with the flock of runners. You see girls have a different maturing process than the boys. Last year 11 freshmen and sophomore girls earned all-state honors as opposed to two on the boys side (no freshman)… the moral to a long story is while there are a bevy of top returning talent, it is NOT a guarantee that such talent is going to paint the picture status quo.
