2026 XC South SJS Distance MidSeason 2 Rankings

Nothing gets the ten readers of this blog more fired up than when I do rankings. Admittedly this is not a math problem or a scientific experiment. There is nothing for sure here...BUT I am the only person who has seen all of the athletes and teams multiple times. I know when they have had a good race and when they have had a disappointing one. So I am the only one "qualified" to even attempt this process...These ranking are based strongly on the second league cluster meets and on times at Woodward (from Golden Eagle, Clovis, and Rough Rider). As always if you disagree, please go out at the league championships this week and show me how wrong I am.
