The 2023 cross country season is about to have the bow put on it and wrapped up. There are only three races left nation wide with RunningLane and NXN this upcoming weekend and Foot Locker the following weekend.
Therefore, we have our boys all-state teams lined up and ready to roll out. There are so many runners in the state of Texas as well as several leagues to go through.
Sometimes we have the benefit of head-to-head matchups to give some insight of who the best runners are and other times we do not. Varying course distances and types also cause for deeper analyzation.
Below we have the all-state teams lined up by three overall all-state teams and three honorable mention teams. These lists are comprised by runners of each league and then we divide them up between the private schools and each UIL classification.
