3A
Team:
The team title in the 3A boys division looks to be pretty straight forward. The men from Green Forest High School have had a great season. Led by their #1 runner Patrick Hunter, they should have all of their top seven in the top 15 of the race. Green Forest has a total time over a minute faster than the next best team and the lowest 1-5 split of the top five teams.
Prediction:
1st - Green Forest
2nd - Genoa Central
3rd - Episcopal Collegiate
Individual:
You will see two people pull away from the pack about the mile mark. These two runners will be returning State XC Champion Noah Eskew from Jessieville, and Patrick Hunter from Green Forest. They have faced each other a few times with Noah coming away the winner in all of them. Click here to see their full comparison.
They were just under 27 seconds apart on the state meet course just a few weeks ago.
