WATCH LIVE: FSU Pre-State Invitational
Who do you think will come out on top with the team title at the FSU Pre-State Invitational?
The boys team competition has the first and possibly only matchup between the FL #1 ranked Belen Jesuit boys and FL #2 ranked Creekside boys. The Belen Jesuit dynasty looks unbeatable right now against in-state competition, but last year's 4A state runners-up Creekside have the best shot at knocking them off. Belen Jesuit has 5 runners who have already broken 16 minutes this season, while Creekside has a pack knocking on the door of doing it.
