At the beginning of the month we took a look ahead at the top individuals returning for the 2014 cross country season. Now we take a look at the top teams. With the year coming to an end and another successful cross country season in the books it is never too early to take a look at the competition for next year. St. Thomas Aquinas looks for back to back titles on the girls side, but this list doesn't take into account one of the top freshman in the state possibly heading to Winter Park. Speaking of Winter Park, can the boys duplicate the success the girls had in 2013?
** Note these rankings do not include incoming freshman
