Meet Preview: 2022 Saltillo XC Invitational (Large School)

High School Boys Team Preview

The Rundown:

On the team side, the battle for victory should be close. On paper, Saltillo High School is projected to take the victory. If they can place their top two runners inside the top ten, they are in an excellent position to win.

However, Oak Grove has been a powerhouse this season. The Warriors are in the hunt running, largely thanks to Gavin Wheat and Bennett Ferguson. However, they have found a strong 3-4-5 and possibly have the best 3-4-5 in Mississippi.

In their most recent meet, they delivered a clean sweep to their competition, going 1-7 at the 2022 Forerunner XC Challenge.

With the firepower that Oak Grove and Saltillo have, they should be the two teams to push for victory.

For third place, a host of teams could take the podium. Madison Central, led by Colin Brannon and Ben Owens, alongside Germantown, are two schools running for a podium finish.
