A sophomore surge would be a good way to describe the cross country season that Christian Ricketts of Arroyo Grande High School in California has been experiencing over the last month. In two big-time invitationals at Pre-Nationals and Clovis Invitational, Ricketts put down two 5K performances well into the 15's to position himself for high finishes with a 9th place at Portland Meadows in 15:40 and a 3rd place in the Division 2 race at Woodward Park two weeks ago in a 15:34 PR.
