The Bolles boys will heavily favored to win their program's 8th overall state title and third in a row in the FHSAA 2A classification including a group of their top 5 returnees with a 5K average of 16:19 amongst them with Christopher Joost and Parker Adams leading the way. Adams was the 2A state runner-up for 3200 meters this past spring with a 9:13 PR, while Joost was fourth in last November's 2A state cross country race as one of the state's best #2 runners last season behind graduated teammate Aidan Ryan.
Using last year's season best 5K cross country times of each team's top 7 returnees to score as a hypothetical meet, below are the FHSAA 2A boys pre-season cross country team scores rankings.
