That article only justifies Virgins lock on #1, yet they put him 2nd. Go figure.

Agree completely, fixed.

Please give me the corrected order.

Steve Taylor is a slam dunk for WV.

Mike Connelly over Gottesfeld in Pennsylvania...and how about some love for Tom Donnelly from 50 years ago?

Not a Florida expert, but it's hard to leave a 3x Kinney Finalist (Teddy Mitchell) off of a list of all-time great HS XC runners.

Got Steve Taylor on for WV (check)

Put Mike Connelly in over Gottesfeld (check)

Who do you want Tom Donnelly to replace from the PA list?

Who do you want Teddy Mitchell to replace on the FL list?

Considering Footlocker, you make a good argument for Tim Moore. I had just been looking at in Michigan XC performance. Not every one of these kids at the top of lists bothered to go to these national competitions, even if they could've competed well, but they all competed in state. Still, you've convinced me about Tim Moore - his resume was being held back by the Ritzenhein factor, who is arguably the greatest US XC runner ever.

Put Tim Moore on the Michigan list, maybe even in the Top 5.

Who should he replace?

Regarding Virginia's list, Hunter would have destroyed Webb. Move Hunter to #1 !!

Fixed. Thanks

So after spending my Saturday watching the OT marathon and Sunday celebrating V-Day, I've returned to update the rosters on this thread. I did not make any corrections to Iowa or PA until I get more specific fixes. I am happy to make those changes.

Fixed. Thank you.

I notice you have 4 runners from St. Johnsbury Academy on your Vermont list. (Bunnell, Powers, Rowe, and Dunklee) I agree that they deserve to be listed and also want to point out that each of these 4 runners were fortunate to have Coach "Chip" Langmaid develop their talent. He's done a great job.

Did you consider Peter Finn? In the early 1980's Peter Finn was dominant and won many state championships. I'm curious where you'd rank him.

7. Mugeche?

I'd put Noah Kauppila over Mugeche. Both won state titles, but Kauppila was 10 sec. faster and a FL qualifier.

The girls side is probably more competitive.

You'll have to excuse stlrunner, he's obviously only aware of MO girls running from about the last 6-8 years. Megan Thompson and Amy Wiseman definitely belong on this list before Heather Burroughs or several of those mentioned by him.

I would replace #6 Kevin Newkirk, a 2 time state champion with another 2 time state champion, Ryan Eichner, 1970 and 1971. Based on beating a tougher field and he ran 9:08ish as junior in HS. Would have battled Randy Smith sub-9 their senior year had not the high school plan, Fiddler on Roof, dancing Russian style not taking his knee out for spring track.
