Stanislaus County Distance: Girls Mid-Season Rankings

Before I start this list I will qualify it by saying that it is merely a slight recognition of those StanCo XC athletes who have began the season with superior effort which has produced some outstanding results. No placement on this list (or any other) is a substitute for hard work and continued dedication. This list carries no weight for winning a league title or a spot in the Section Championship.

We are about half way through the season. There have been some surprising results and some outstanding racing. I for one always look forward to the pending championship portion of the season.

Ruvalcaba and Garcia

As I said with the preseason rankings...wow is this an imprecise science. There is a lot of shuffling of individuals from race to race. Additionally many individuals never run head to head...as I said imprecise and probably not a science at all; but if you are interested, here is my list. I welcome comments. Debate is healthy.
