Saucony Flo50 Pre-Season Boys XC Team Rankings Countdown


Led by Zack Ericksen, five runners from last year's dominant Lone Peak squad will return this season to help Lone Peak maintain its dominance in 2016. Lone Peak finished fourth at the Utah state cross country Championships behind the 2015 NXN individual champion, Casey Clinger, and the rest of his American Fork team. But Lone Peak rallied at NXN Southwest Regionals to take third over American Forks in fourth. Lone Peak closed the season as the 11th team overall at the NXN 2015 meet. Backed by plenty of returning talent, Lone Peak will be looking to improve on their finish at NXN last year and come out on top of Clinger and American Forks.
