2013 MileSplit New Mexico All-Freshman Teams

It would be tough to find two New Mexico freshmen who enjoyed more spectacular seasons than Onate's Meghan Aguilera and Rio Rancho's Michael Goke. Photos by Alan Versaw.

Picked from this fall's performances, here is a big chunck of the near future of New Mexico High School Cross Country. Please note that selections were not made entirely on single best time of the season as course difficulty varies greatly from venue to venue. Consistency of performances was also weighted highly in the selections.
