3. Madelynn Hill - Liberty - JR: After a breakout freshman year of track in 2016, Madelynn Hill made a major statement in her first cross country season, running 18:41 for 5th (3rd returner) and following it up with an 18:55 at the Nike XC Regional Meet. With her 2:16/5:02.9(full mile)/11:54(indoor)/18:41 personal bests and her multiple trips to the state meet medal stand, Hill will be a significant contender, pushing the de facto top two competitors in Class 4.
