2023 Maryland Girls Cross Country Team Power Rankings: #9-10

#9 Bethesda Chevy Chase

2022 States - 5th (4A)
2022 Regionals -4th (4A West)
2022 Counties - 5th (Montgomery)
Key Returners: Varri Higgins, Ani Bailin
Key Losses: None
Outlook: BCC might be the team that surprises everyone this season and takes home the 4A crown. They had a very strong spring track season with Sophie Harjes and Ani Bailin running 11:07 and 11:08 for 3200 respectively. Aubrey Green also broke the 12-minute barrier running 11:56. This was all without top returning running Varri Higgins who was hurt during last track season. If she is healthy they will have 4 who can run with any team in the state and if they can find a 5th will be tough to beat!



#10 Notre Dame Prep
2022 IAAM - 2nd
Key Returners: Olivia Sobkowicz
Key Losses: Summer Nelson and Clarie McGarvey
Outlook: Notre Dame Prep returns a strong team who will attempt to battle McDonogh for the IAAM crown. They return Olivia Sobkowicz who ran 19:44 for 5k last year and return a strong supporting cast of girls who have run under 22 minutes and will be looking to step up this year!
