Quick Notes:
-I tried to reward those who have gone out and run fast so far this season.
-However, I kept proven guys like Delisle and Smucker high up, even if they've lost to some other guys early on.
-Rough cutoffs: 1:58/4:28/9:45. Interested to see how these numbers move. 
-I'm a fan of those who run multiple events, which hurts the guys who focus on just one event.
-I feel like I'm lowballing the pure 3200 guys and maybe overrating the 800 guys.

Top 50 Rankings - Courtesy of Jiminy Cricket

Big shout out to Jiminy Cricket, one of our most loyal readers and best commenters who decided to put together a version of the top 50 list for track. This is a tricky proposition given the fact that track has so many different races involved (unlike XC), but the guy (or girl, I technically have no idea) put together a pretty strong set of names. Let him (or her) (and all of us) know what you think!

As promised, here's my top 50 rankings as of right now. I tried to use a mix of guys off to good starts and guys with big PR's, but really it ended up being very close to the indoor state meet results. My plan is to update this every week. Please let me know who I misranked and who I left off altogether. Let's get some more hype going for this season!
