Class 4 Boys Individual Rankings
This is going to be fun one to watch develop over the season. I give Chandler Gibbens a slight edge over Harrison Brown, Christian Baker, and Tom Seitzer. You could make an argument for any of those boys to be in any of the 4 poistions they share. Gibbens narrowly held off Seitzer to finish the best among returners, but he was beat on the track by 3200m State Champion Christian Baker, and Harrison Brown. Like I said it'll be fun to watch this develop over the season, and I hope the race at State turns out to be a thriller.
