The SEMO District champs, Oak Ridge returns 6 of their top 7 and looks poised to keep the good times rolling. They come in at 8th on our rankings because they simply lack a low scorer at the moment. Kranawetter is their top returner and he is the 45th fastest returner. Their 1-5 split of 1:44 and average time of 19:31 means they could be able to use the pack-running method to their advantage. The Bluejays of Oak Ridge will be looking for their first podium finish since 2009.
