The Howard girls top the list after numerous phenomenal performances. Senior Nimrit Ahuja helped lead the team to the number 1 spot after running a personal best of 18:41.60 at the Great American XC Festival. Additionally, the Howard squad has the shortest 1-5 split with a 33-second average and is the only team on the list to have an average time under 19 minutes. Notably, the Howard girls are more than triple the points ahead of the next ranked team.
These rankings are subject to change and are not definitive. These are predictions of how teams are currently ranked, and it is up to the end-of-season championships to determine who is the best.
