Maryland Girls XC Preseason Team Rankings: #16 Winston Churchill


No. 16: Winston Churchill High School

In their first season in four years without the familiar face of Lucy Srour leading the way, junior Julia Reicin stepped up into the #1 role for the Churchill girls in 2015. Led by Reicin's tenth-place finish they finished ninth at the state championships, and only seven points behind sixth place. Reicin returns in 2016 for the Lady Bulldogs along with three of their top six returners from last year's state meet, all of whom finished 75th or higher. It won't be easy for them this season - even though they're ranked 16th in our preseason rankings, they're only the sixth-highest ranked team from 4A West on the list. The teams behind B-CC and Walter Johnson are so packed tightly that Churchill could probably finish anywhere between third and ninth. With Churchill's active streak of five straight top-ten finishes, however, there's a good chance they'll be lining up to try and extend that streak at Hereford in November.
