Preseason Boys #7: Saint John’s Prep
Saint John’s Prep may not have the firepower up front as some of the other contenders on our list, but they make up for it with strength of pack. Top returner Liam Mahoney is the only runner with a sub 16 PR to his name, but from two to seven they have a spread of 16:18 to 16:47.
Preseason Girls #7: Westwood
Last we saw Westwood they were winning the 4x800m at the Meet of Champions in a blistering 9:17. Unfortunately for their competition, that entire squad returns and will be running this fall. They also return six of the seven runners that won the Division 2 race at the Meet of Champions last November. That quartet from the 4×800 along with incoming sophomore Ciara Chi will make up the top 5 for a strong Westwood team that should contend all season long.
