Three teams in particular dominate the top 25 returning rankings in this year's 2A field. Oakdale seniors Kyle Lund and Collin Dempsey are the two two returners (defending champion Anish Nanjappa and River Hill move up to the 3A classification). The Harford Tech boys have three of the top seven returning runners, led by rising junior Kevin Baranoski. And the defending champion Liberty Lions are the only team with five returning runners on this list.
