**A few might argue that Jim Spivey should be up there. I don't disagree at all. He could certainly substitute in for any of trunners there excluding the top 3**
Honorable mention: Matt Withrow (**See FL win against Galen Rupp**)
I would be very surprised if another state could muster up something like this.
On just XC I would dump Merrick and Jäger and put in Torres (3x state champ and FL champ) and Withrow. FL champ that took down altitude tent Rupp and a Kenyan.
