Pre-Season ... National GIRLS Individual Profiles/Ranks - Cross Country 2016

by Bill Meylan ... July 17, 2016

Below are Performance Profiles for 18 top national high school female runners entering the 2016 cross country season ... I find it interesting to examine profiles of the top national girls and also compare them to the top NY girls (Profiles for the 2016 New York Girls) ... Performance data helps evaluation ... and knowing the performance level of the best national runners is always interesting ..... Opinions will differ on the ranking position of individual runners, but that's a good thing ... It's also a "necessary thing" for serious handicappers ... The order of the runners below is my current pre-season opinion.
 

How To Read the Table Information: The number following the name is the school grade for the 2016 XC season.  The XC data listed below the name are, in order, the race name, race date, place, actual race time, and speed rating (higher is faster).  Selected track data are also shown .

 

 

 #1 - Nevada Mareno   12   Leesville Road HS   North Carolina
Nevada Mareno showed major improvement between her junior and sophomore XC seasons ... I don't believe Nevada was 100% healthy at Footlocker Nationals, but she still finished 3rd with a 160 speed rating (top speed rating of any returning girl nationally).

Nevada ran very fast again during outdoor track ... Set a 2-Mile PR at New Balance Nationals (10:00.44) where she lost to Weini Kelati in an exciting stretch-duel by only 0.06 seconds (Kelati was the Footlocker champion and will not be competing HS XC this coming season).

 #2 - Cailie Logue   12   Girard HS   Kansas
Cailie Logue finished 3rd at NXN Nationals and is the top returning runner from NXN Nationals (and that gets her ranked very high in the pre-season).

Cailie followed up her cross country success with a very good outdoor track season ... she set PRs at all distances (significant improvements at 1600m and 800m indicating better speed) ... Cailie Logue enters the 2016 XC season as serious contender for a top spot nationally.

 #3 -  Kate Murphy   12   Lake Braddock HS   Virginia
Kate Murphy made a major improvement in cross country from her freshmen to sophomore seasons, and has continued to improve ever since (in both cross country and track) ......... Kate was undefeated in XC in Virginia last season with the exception of one loss to Footlocker champion Weini Kelati ...Kate finished 16th at NXN Nationals (an improvement on her sophomore finish at NXN) ... Last year, Kate entered XC with some impressive track credentials including a 4:16.98 mark in the 1500m.

This season Kate enters XC as one of the top high school track performers of all-time with PRs at 1500m (4:07.21) and 3000m (9:10.51) ... Kate looks stronger and faster than last year ... and it will be interesting to see where it takes her in cross country ... I moved Kate up in my pre-season XC rankings based on track, but kept telling myself that "Track is Not Cross Country" (especially at NXN Nationals, and Lake Braddock is returning 6 of 7 runners from NXN Nationals).

 #4 - Libby Davidson    12    E.C. Glass HS   Virginia
Libby Davidson finished 6th at Footlocker Nationals in both 2015 and 2014 and is clearly one of the top cross country runners in the nation (she is the #2 returning runner from Footlocker).

Once again, Libby performed very nicely during track ... she set a PR a 2-Miles at New Balance Indoor Nationals (10:14.97) ... Libby was 7th at the Brooks PR Invitational 2-Mile (10:22.60) in Washington State, and the following day on the east coast, she split 4:56.40 (1600m leg) in a DMR at New Balance Outdoor Nationals.

 #5 - Annie Hill   11   Glacier HS   Montana
Annie Hill won Footlocker West and the NXN Northwest Regional handily last year ... she was undefeated in cross country in 2015 entering Footlocker Nationals ... Unfortunately, I don't believe Annie Hill was 100% at Footlocker Nationals.

Annie Hill won both the Brooks PR Invitational Mile (PR of 4:41.52) and the Nike Elite Camp Mile contested at the US Olympic Trials ... she set a 3200m PR at Arcadia in her first track race of the season (10:14.14) ... also set an 800m PR (2:09.29) ... Annie Hill is a serious contender to win either national XC meet (too bad she can't run both).

#7 - Jessica Lawson    12    Corning    (Section 4 - Class A)
Jessica Lawson was the NY State Overall XC Runner-of-the Year in 2015 ... Jessica is the NY Federation champion and a Footlocker All-American ... Her speed ratings rank Jessica as one of the top returning harriers in the nation and the top rated harrier in NY.

Jessica did not run outdoor track in 2015 due to a foot injury ... This spring (2016) Jessica set PRs at all distances including a big win at NY States in the 3000m (9:24.36, bettered historically in NY by only Aisling Cuffe, Molly Huddle and Nicole Blood) ... Unfortunately, Jessica had to scratch from the 1500m the following day at States due to injury ... 6 days later, she did finish 3rd at outdoor Nationals in the 5000m (not sure she was 100%).

#8 - Kelsey Chmiel    10    Saratoga    (Section 2 - Class A)
Kelsey Chmiel was the NY State Freshmen-of-the-Year in XC, and that was her first season of XC ... Kelsey finished an outstanding 4th at NXN Nationals making her the #2 returning NXN runner behind 3rd-place finisher Cailie Logue of Kansas.

As an 8th-grader in track, Kelsey Chmiel burst onto high school running scene in NY in big way ... But her freshmen track performances were even more spectacular with major PRs everywhere ... Her 1500m PR (4:23.81 at the Eddy Meet) has been bettered by only 5 NY runners historically and her 3000m PR (9:35.63) is also excellent ... her 3200m at Loucks (10:19.39) is 6th-best ever in NY.

Kelsey Chmiel helped Saratoga finish 4th at NXN Nationals ... and this year, Saratoga could improve and seriously challenge Fayetteville-Manlius for State and National titles.

 #10 -  Rachel McArthur   12   Patriot HS   Virginia
Rachel McArthur ran very well at the Manhattan Invitational Cross Country Championship in early October ... Unfortunately, Rachel had to endure a nagging injury during XC that was diagnosed as a partial tear in the right quad causing her to miss some races ... she still qualified for NXN and finished a very decent 41st at NXN Nationals.

Rachel is an outstanding track runner with excellent speed as evidenced by a fast 400m (56.35) ... set PRs at 800m (2:06.55) and 1500m (4:25.66) ... Could possibly surprise the top XC runners.
