We all love to see who is the fastest but what about those athletes who are dropping some serious times, no matter where they place in the field? Well, we have looked at runners' times in the early 2020 cross country season (through September 15) and compared them to their post-September-15 times to see who has already made some time drops.
Below are the junior girls' rankings (by percentage time drop and also by overall time drop) of those who competed both in the early part of the season and continue to run. These rankings/lists do not contain any athletes who either did not compete in the early and mid-part of the season or did not show any time drops between these dates.
