Ted Benz XC Jamboree Preview

It's an exciting time of year! After a long summer break--hopefully filled with countless miles of base training--our high school harriers (sans class of 2011) are back in action. This weekend many teams in the Orlando Metro area will open their preseason with the 2nd Annual Ted Benz XC Jamboree, named in honor of the recently retired legendary Central Florida coach. 

The Colonial boys, state championship hopefuls this season, will be favored to run the show with a miniscule amount of points if last season is any indicator. Andres Arroyo will lead the way for Colonial and is expected to battle Billy Anguish of Winter Park for individual honors.  Winter Park should be able to wrap up second place with their solid depth. While First Academy, Hagerty, Timber Creek, and George Jenkins are likely to battle it out for the remaining top five team positions.
