  1. I think you mean 2018. Anyway we've finally reached the point where I only recognize one name on the whole list. Feels like just yesterday I ran my last XC meet. Anyway, I'd appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable could key me in on if these rankings are any good

  2. What are these rankings lol

  3. For the record, these are 2016, not 2018. The title is correct. As for the rankings themselves, I think you would have to be paying pretty close attention to recognize many of these names and some you’d probably have no chance. It probably doesn’t help that none of these people exist in real life.

    1. Gotcha I figured it was a mistake when you mashed Andrew Hanna and Joe Maguire together

    2. On second thought shouldn't it actually be 2015? Since these guys graduated in 2016 meaning that their last XC seasons were in the Fall of 2015

    1. Had to post up some fake rankings to maybe generate a little intrigue for The Running Diaries, my diction book series that I’ve been working on. Part I is available currently on Amazon and Part II will be out in October. Unfortunately, now that I’m retired I’ll only be using the site for shameless self promotion

    2. If I buy the book will you keep the blog going? Just once a week? Only a paragraph or two, and the commenters will do the rest!

  5. BREAKING: Carlos Shultz to Loudoun Valley

    1. That's a shame, Shanahan could have been decent with him. He should be able to make Loudoun Valley's varsity this year.

    2. Schultz should be running with Loudoun Valley at the PTXC meet at Kutztown today. That meet has become the premier PA meet for early season and it should give us a good inclination of who's for real this XC season.
