Between October 7th and October 14th, MoCoRunning.com conducted an open online poll. Participants were instructed to select their top ten athletes and teams for the cross country county championship meet. 99 valid submissions were collected. 67 of those had valid votes for boys teams. Below you will find the top ten boys team poll results. After the top ten, I make my picks for the remaining teams. My picks are not based on poll results.
