New Mexico Cross Country Countdown Series

The New Mexico Cross Country Countdown breaks down the top 25 New Mexico boys and girls teams returning this fall. These rankings will include projected top runners and weighing how each team may do in their respective districts and state competitions. Changes to class alignments and adaptions to the state championship format have been taken into consideration. These rankings are based on past two seasons of performances and do not include teams that did not compete last year due to a lack of athletes and team information. All top returning runners are only projections and may include athletes no longer on the team due to transfer or out-of-state relocation.

#20 Bosque School Bobcats

For a team like Bosque School to return as much talent as they do and still be currently sitting at the #20 spot on this list speaks volumes for the teams returning in New Mexico. The top returner for the Bobcats is junior Ella Adams coming off a 10th place finish while freshmen Alana Chimenti, junior Gwendolyn Copland, and sophomore Elliot Patton round out the list of returning state runners. Bosque appears to be navigating their way through 3A just fine since making the switch from A/2A after three straight state championship victories in that classification. Just as they bring back a great group of runners so do the teams that got the better of them in this past spring. At the moment they are sitting fairly well at once again hoisting a trophy the only uncertainty is what color that trophy will be at the state meet this fall.
