No. 22: Saratoga Springs (NY)
- - -
Analysis: The Saratoga Spring girls keep finishing among the national elite season after season with a Nike Cross Nationals Championship in 2022 and a 6th place finish in 2023. The team graduated their top three runners from last season, but return a strong core of runners that helped the team win the NXR New York Regional last season.
The Saratoga Springs girls return a strong group of seven girls that have run the 5K under 20 minutes and a top five scorers time average of 18:41.70 heading into the season. If there is one thing we know year after year with this team, it's to not underestimate them.
