Girls
Taylor Werner can make possibly the strongest case for the greatest Missourian cross country athlete of all time, male or female. She dominated four state cross country meets in Class 3, qualified for four national championship meets, earned three All-American honors, and owns the state 5K record as well as the two fastest marks all-time at Oak Hills Golf Center. She was 27-1 in Missouri in her career, losing only to Hannah Long at Forest Park XC Festival in 2014.
