Sydney Thorvaldson, Rawlins (WY)
Thorvaldson never lost in Wyoming a single time over her four-year career. She ran six sub-17 performances in 2020 and had 20 over her career.
She will go down as the state's all-time best athlete in cross country. No questions asked.
But even before Thorvaldson reached high school, she was running. Since 2014, she's racked up an incredible 39 wins. Not including this campaign, she qualified for Team Nationals in four straight appearances and was an All-American on every try, including a third-place finish in 2019.
She also won the Team Northwest Regional twice, the XC Town USA Meet of Champions and a really impressive racea against Brynn Brown in Lubbock in December.
The Arkansas signee's cross country resume is nearly unmatched.
