Please feel free to chime in on the rankings above. I won't be offended if you strongly disagree as the above rankings are meant to be a launching pad for conversation. Fortunately, section titles and state meet berths are decided by the runners themselves. Any impact freshmen that we should know about?

Any idea if Milan & Khaya Jackson of SMB is on SMB team. They ran XC last year but didn't run track. Thought they would had been outstanding last year but they didn't run. Any idea if they have transferred or they no longer running. I know they were into basketball too. Thanks
