With the IHSAA XC Tournament beginning Saturday, October 6th, let's take a look back at the recently completed regular season. Below are three interesting statistical categories based on results submitted online: (1) A breakdown of the remaining undefeated athletes heading into the tournament; (2) Potential All-State athletes - those athletes who have beat at least one top-25 PowerRanked athlete during the regular season; and (3) Athletes who had the toughest regular season schedules - total number of meets vs. Top 100 PowerRanked athletes (not necessarily the same race, but same meet).
Note: All statistics are versus Indiana-only competitors and are limited to the top-200 PowerRanked athletes.
