4A Boys

Was there really any doubt who would be at the top of the list for 4A boys? The two-time 4A champion, Rendon Kuykendall has proven to be in a level all his own the past couple of years but injuries have kept him relatively quite for most of the season. Portales' Michael Riess put on a show at the Academy Extravaganza to take down the field in what could be a challenge to Kuykendall. Academy's Nate Klein knows this course better than any one  else in the field and could see that benifit to a possible top five finish. Los Alamos boys have been absent at all the big meets this season but surely will be ready to compete as they have in years past.
