I would hope to surprise you about herrimans performance next year. I am an incoming freshman (my brother runs varsity), and we have many young talents on the way. Only time will tell.
2023 boys Predictions (for all teams, regardless of division) 1- American Fork. Becoming in contention this year already. Only loses 1 person. Has an individual who could actually win it all at NXN 2- Lone Peak. Loses 1,5,6 from state. But also adds 3 guys that did well at the JV state meet. They reloaded nicely after losing 5 varsity seniors 3- Herriman. Loses 4 guys but return 4 sub-15 guys. Has at least 5 guys who scored for varsity at least once. So they have depth. Just needs someone to emerge as a low stick in order to content. Loses Hartshorn 4- Orem. Returns 4 of their top 6. But needs to find a 5th. Loses Echohawk. 5- Riverton. Returns 5 varsity guys but the problem is they will go from 5-deep to 3-deep. To contend for the #1 spot they will need to find a low stick which they lacked all season, and close the 3-5 gap 6- Taylorsville. Placed 10th at state but returns everybody 7- Viewmont. 7th in the 5a race. Loses only 1 person. 8- Skyridge. Always seems to reload. Losing their 1,3,4 but has some youngsters coming up 9- Corner Canyon. Like Skyridge, they are losing their 1,3,4, but Skyridge’s returns are better 10- Farmington. Reloaded nicely after graduating many people. Wouldn’t be surprised if they are up here again, even after losing their 1-3 from state
Counting out MV is a crazy move. I’d be shocked if they aren’t top ten next year
Actually, they lose 4 seniors.
But, I think they actually have a good shot. They had some JV guys step up from last XC season. They just need to close the 4-5 gap.
