2023 ILXCTF.com Top 100 Girls XC Returning Runners
By Michael Newman
Here is a list of some of the top runners back from the 2022 XC Season.
More emphasis on figuring these lists came from races towards the end of the season with less emphasis on meets in August and September. This gives you an idea of some of the runners you could see this season. This is a combined list from Class 1A, Class 2A, and Class 3A
Have a great season!
