Top 200 Sophomore and Junior XC Performances in 2021 - Boys

Rick Sluder


2021 Sophomore Class Top 200

The 2021 season could be described as the year of the senior in Indiana. The senior class dominated the Top 20 at the state meet. Several teams and the medal stand will see significant turnover. However, the shelf is far from empty.

Carmel's Kole Mathison is the top returning runner in every way. He should enter next August as the heavy favorite for the individual title after earning All-American honors at the Eastbay National Championships, formerly known as Footlocker.

There is a total of 22 juniors who have broken the 16:00-flat mark already. That's typical of the state meet race by itself. The sophomore class adds nine more sub-16:00 runners and 24 who broken 16:30. That could mean that 2022 could be as exciting as this past season was for Indiana XC fans.
