WV Fastest 50 Returning Girls Cross Country Runners for 2012

I ran this article at the end of last cross country season and think it is appropriate to bring it back.

With the 2011 cross country season fresh on our minds, let's look forward to 2012 cross country season and the 50 fastest returning West Virginia girls. Maggie Drazba, Sami Harris, Victoria Cooke and Amelia Paladino should be back for an encore to what was a spectacular and drama filled season for the ladies. As always, there will be newcomers to watch and others that will come to the top. Nine months and counting. I can't wait.
