13. JSerra Catholic (CA)
- - -
Analysis: One of California's top teams has five returners back and two transfers.
It's already made a difference. JSerra rolled through the Cool Breeze Invitational to open up its 2023 campaign, scoring just 43 points on a 17:53 average. Six of those runners were underclassmen. The team has just two seniors.
That's good news, considering this team is coming off a year where it finished 21st at NXN, won its CIF Division 4 title and finished second at the Clovis Invitational. Teams like JSerra don't start over. They reload.
The team's top returning runners are Brynn Garcia (junior), Kaylah Tasser (sophomore) and Summer Wilson (sophomore).
