6. Ethan Hutchinson - West Plains - SR: Here come the Zizzers. Hutchinson draws the 6 spot because of his consistency in cross country, but could be even higher potentially if he had put it all together at the state meet, first, and second, had a better track season. He was only slower than 16:35 once last year and was consistently in the low-16s throughout the season. A fast cross country field left him 5 spots from the podium even with a 16:20 showing. The 15:50 young man kicks off the conversation about a trio of Joe Bill Dixon prodigies that will look to make some noise in 2017.
