MileSplit will count down the top returning teams, starting in early August. Got some information that might help? Send it to jgeorge@milesplit.com.
MileSplit will be running a countdown of the top returning cross country teams in Texas, starting in early August and leading up to the beginning of competition for the fall season. This will be an all-classification ranking, with one boys team and one girls team announced each day in reverse order, finishing with the top 2 teams. The rankings will be based on MileSplit's automated returning team rankings, but will be adjusted for other factors: improvement through track season, the program's recent record of success, and team weaknesses or strengths. To get a sense of how the process works, check out the countdown currently under way in North Carolina - Girls and Boys.
NOTE TO COACHES: In order to have your team accurately ranked, you must have graduation years entered for your athletes (you can do this from your team admin page). Athletes without graduation years will not be shown in returning rankings.
If you have any information that may "shake up" the rankings for the upcoming season (major transfers, for example), post it in the comments for this article or email directly to jgeorge@milesplit.com so they can be factored into the countdown. Any information or suggestion is welcome!
