They will be right there with the Edina girls at the end of the season, if not ahead. In fact, the 1st MN Coaches poll has Minnetonka at the top for 2A girls. <a href='http:\/\/www.mncrosscountryhub.com\/news_article\/show\/549780?referrer_id=374048' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http:\/\/www.mncrossco...errer_id=374048<\/a>","date_added":"Sep 3rd 2015, 9:05pm","nest":0,"liked":false,"member":[],"can_delete":false,"item_id":363239,"item_type":"news","pb_image":"i\/no_avatar.png","pb_title":"Brian Keith Maas","pb_url":"profile.php?member_id=51914","pb_url_dns":"https:\/\/Brian-Keith-Maas.runnerspace.com\/","pb_wally_id":"1292954"},"1385712":{"pb_id":"93437","pb_type":"members","likes":"0","parent_id":"0","pid":"1385712","comment_id":"1385712","member_id":"93437","comment":"Fargo Davies should be somewhere in the mix as well. I have heard from an anonymous source that even though they lost three of their top seven, they have been able to reload very quickly, and should be a threat to Bismarck&#039;s ND dynasty.","date_added":"Aug 28th 2015, 1:10am","nest":0,"liked":false,"member":[],"can_delete":false,"item_id":363239,"item_type":"news","pb_image":"i\/no_avatar.png","pb_title":"rbaby921","pb_url":"profile.php?member_id=93437","pb_url_dns":"https:\/\/rbaby921.runnerspace.com\/","pb_wally_id":"1783308"},"1384994":{"pb_id":"93325","pb_type":"members","likes":"0","parent_id":"0","pid":"1384994","comment_id":"1384994","member_id":"93325","comment":"Some thoughts on boys teams on the Heartland Watchlist: <br \/>\r\nBismarck, ND.  The defending champions in ND are led by state champion Sam Clausnitzer in the 5K (15.32), 1,600 (4.18) and the 3,200 (9.20).  They return  4 of their top 5 scorers.  <br \/>\r\nDowling Catholic, IA.  Led by Ryan Schweizer, Iowa\u00e2\u0080\u0099s top returning distance runner with state championships in the 1600 (4.17) and the 3200 (9.17) this spring.  <br \/>\r\nStillwater, MN.  As much potential as anyone on the watchlist.  If the Ponies get to full strength this year, they will be our fastest riser.    <br \/>\r\nWashburn SH, Minneapolis, MN.  A great top of the line-up, but Washburn will need to improve on the back end to be able to compete in one of the toughest sections in the country, Minnesota 6AA.   <br \/>\r\nSioux Falls Roosevelt, SD.   NXN qualifier last year is the team to beat in South Dakota but they will need to find one more quality scorer in order to compete in the Heartland.  <br \/>\r\nLinn-Marr, IA.  The defending Iowa 4A champs have some rebuilding to do but could be back in the rankings soon.  <br \/>\r\nGrinnell, IA.  Our longshot pick in from the Heartland.  Young, up-and-coming team in 3A Iowa.  They could be a year away from competing with the big schools of the Heartland.  <br \/>\r\nManhattan High School, KS.  Strong returning core with a top runner in Jackson Schroeder but they need more pieces to be competitive outside of their state.","date_added":"Aug 26th 2015, 4:26am","nest":0,"liked":false,"member":[],"can_delete":false,"item_id":363239,"item_type":"news","pb_image":"i\/no_avatar.png","pb_title":"Paul_Schmitz","pb_url":"profile.php?member_id=93325","pb_url_dns":"https:\/\/Paul-Schmitz.runnerspace.com\/","pb_wally_id":"1781658"}},"last_id":"1384994","url":"comments.php?item_type=news&item_id=363239&item_url=gprofile.php?mgroup_id=89"}
