A total of 4 All-State top 15 finishers are returning for 2A boys including Montverde Academy rising senior Riley Novack, a 4th place finisher in last year's state meet and has the fastest time from last fall coming back at 15:07. Aidan Ryan of Bolles will be the pre-season favorite as a state champion this past spring in the 1600 and 3200 and last year's runner-up in cross country, but Novack and another 2021 top 5 state meet finisher Kirin Karver of Berkeley Prep will be among others who will be closely chasing.
