The 2013 Cross Country Arizona Watch List series continues. As the season gets underway new athletes will be added to the list.
This is the last Watch List I have. If you have sent me your watch list and it has not yet posted, I probably did not get it. Please resend. I am also waiting for about 10 athletes to get their Q and A's in. Please send before the season if over!!!
