WV Fastest Returning Boys Cross Country Runners for 2013

With the 2012 cross country season fresh on our minds, let's look forward to 2013 cross country season and the 50 fastest returning West Virginia boys. For the first time in 3 years we have a new face at the top. Matthew Brafford of George Washington is set to take his rightful position at the top of the list. Brafford had an outstanding junior year of cross country and his 15:38 5K performance at the Foot Locker South Regional in winning the junior race gives him our best chance to get another boy to Foot Locker Nationals. Unlike last year when Cabell Midland dominated the rankings, five different schools are represented in the top 5. However, watch out.....University High of Morgantown has 3 in the top 10 to set themselves up as the early favorite to win it all next year.

(L-R) Matthew Brafford, Andrew Milliron, and Levi Snedegar
