Let's take a look at the top returning boys teams in all classifications...
On paper - Niwot looks to be in prime position to take the Cake as Colorado's top squad.
They return three who have broken 15:30, and seven who have broken 15:45. They own a 1-5 average of 15:25, and a 1-5 split of just 25-seconds.
On paper they are in a race of their own...
Last year they finished outside the auto qualifiers for Nike Cross Nationals, earned an At-Large bid, then stunned the country by going on to finish fifth with the youngest squad in the field.
Coming in No. 2 on this list is Coronado. They return three who have broken 15:45, and five who have broken 16:30. They own a 1-5 average of 15:47, and a 1-5 split of 1:15.
Mountain Vista and Valor Christian are a close 3-4. These two squads look eerily similar through five.
