The following are MileSplit's returning composite rankings for 4A boys. These rankings combine cross country and track performances from the previous school year to try and accurately rate teams heading into the fall. You can create custom composite ranking leaderboards by going to "Rankings" -> "XC Team Scores" on the top banner and selecting "Composite".
The Severna Park boys, unsurprisingly, top this list as they shoot for their second three-peat of the decade. The top of the 4A North Region is well-represented with four teams (Dulaney, Northwood, Montgomery Blair and Sherwood) among the top eight.
