The idea of this article is simple. Take the top 100 senior girls (by time) at this year's state cross country meet and then look back. How many were on the radar screen as 8th graders--either through middle school state or USATF Junior Olympics state competition.
Then, following the table of performances for these athletes, we'll draw some inferences about what the table suggests to us about the senior class of girls for 2021.
First, though, here is the table of the top 100 girls at the state meet this fall and then what their results, if any, were at middle school state cross country for 2013 and the USATF Colorado Junior Olympic meet for 2013.
