Westerville North getting no love. Don't voters realize Gabelman hasn't run yet?
Woah um…. West. North BEAT Kilbourne AND Coffman WITHOUT Gabelman at the Pick. North classic. And West. North is STILL ranked behind BOTH of those teams I don’t think Coffman and Kilbourne were missing anyone from that meet

I think some voters rely on Milesplit's team rankings. In those (as flawed as they are), Kilbourne is a clear #1. We'll see this weekend. WN and WK are racing each other again.
I'm most interested in what happens at Hilliard though. Lots of teams there ranked pretty high... ST X, Massilon, Coffman, Jerome, H Davidson, Orange. It'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out. Guessing it's going to be close.
Seems like Coffman needs to close the 4-5 gap better if they want to do as well as they did last year
Coffman simply won't have the same success this year as they did the last 2 years. This squad is good, but they will play 2nd fiddle to Jerome, North, Kilbourne, and probably Orange. Their 4-5 isn't the only issue, they don't have front runners that can compete with the other squads. Bolton is good, but he's top 15-20 in region 3 at best.
Hilliard meet is gonna be awesome..agreed about the boys teams there..will give us a good indication. On the girls end at Hilliard, in the state rankings competing here you got Hilliard Davidson, Avon, Beavercreek and Olentangy Liberty all ranked within the top 10, and then #11- Dublin Jerome, Gahanna Lincoln, Upper Arlington, Olentangy Orange, Massilon Jackson, and Springboro.. 10 teams in top 33 competing girls wise

Yeah, losing their top 2 (Shaughnessy & McGraw) has taken a toll on them, even though they have everyone else back. And also, it appears that Coffman only has 1 nonsenior on their varsity

Yeah I just realized that. Probably gonna be a rebuild next year for them

It kind of is a rebuilding year this year for them too. Still a good team but won’t finish as high as last year.
Kilbourne is ahead of W.North when they beat them without Gabelman? Chardon seems way too high, seeing as their 5 man ran 17:45 and they only had 2 under 17 minutes...
Chillocothe doesnt have a single kid under 17 and they're 10th?
Lebanon 12th?
I genuinely don't get how Jerome, Orange and honestly even like Pick North and Davidson are lower than some of these teams. Seems crazy

Centerville not Chillicothe lol. And Lebanon essentially tied Beavercreek at their last meet, so they’re legit.
Loveland HS XC Invitational 2023 entries. Looks like all of Mason’s varsity guys are in the entries list 9 Mason people broke 17 last year. Now that’s depth

Chardon ran at Kenston which was in horrible shape with all the rain that fell during the week and they didn't run their top returning runner. Their top 5 that ran there all would have easily been under 17 on a normal course. They basically have everyone back from their state team last year and have lots of depth.

Hil. Davidson graduated all but 2 of their varsity runners. Will they qualify for state this year?

Combine Dublins Coffman and Jerome and you get more depth. You just can't discount the size of that school when you make comments lauding their depth.
This is why they also have the best marching band in the state. 500+ kids in the band will do that. And 90 kids on the guys XC team will also create instant depth.
That said... I think their coach and culture are great. But damn, give me that many kids and I'll find a slew of sub 17 runners.
We'll see if they can find the top end talent to win it all again.

Not a chance. Central OH is loaded. Kilbourne, W. North, Jerome, Coffman, Orange, Lancaster...
Results from Westerville North. North takes the win convincingly. Gabelman dropped Day at 2 miles and didn’t look back once. Smith was absent from the race, and everyone else on Kilbourne’s varsity besides Steven Miller was told not to race until the final mile. North likely still takes the win, but Kilbourne wasn’t at full strength today. They’ll be fine. Scioto puts forth a good race, will be interesting to see how they match up against other Columbus squads later in the season
Edit: Steven Miller wasn’t at full effort today either. Definitely would have been fun to see how close Kilbourne is to North
