Top XC Returners: 1A Boys Individuals

Florida XC 2013: Preseason Rankings
Todd Grasley


The 2013 cross country season is right around the corner. We kick off our preseason coverage by ranking the top returners in each class. Only three of the top thirteen placers from the 2012 1A Cross Country finals return. Senior Griffin Rutherford, who finished fourth last year, leads the way with a time of 16:04.45, more than nine seconds better than his nearest competitor Troy Clark. Clark and junior Andrew Cacciatore should also be in title contention. Stay tuned for more rankings, team scouting reports, feature stories, and the announcement of our cross country bloggers for the year.
