MHSXC Individual Rankings Preseason (Last updated june-09) #1 Abe Haji (SO) Capable of low 15's in his soph campaign. He'll be the unquestioned #1 of a young team. He'll carry the burden of leading workouts which i believe he'll take to the work quite well. Abe is the guy a coach can build a team around and is a hard worker and terrific student. We'll work to improve his closing speed this season. #2 Bana Negash (SO) Near sub 16 performance at state xc sectional in his frosh year is an example of Bana strength....He's a gamer. Reminds me of our graduating #2 runner Omar in his toughness in racing. Bana is capable of low 15's. He had average practices last year. If he competes w/ Abe in practice this summer/fall watch out for Bana. #3 Juan Mendez (SO) Juan is an enormous X factor of this team. He's as big of a talent as Abe and Bana. Juan loves to compete and win. We'll balance XC and soccer (he's a terrific player) this fall but i'm certain with a strong summer he's a sub 16 minute 3 miler.#4 Tarik Estrada (JR) His breakthrough FR/So xc season from '08 now steps up to the varsity level. Tarik is the most determined kid on our team. He bring intensity to our practices and a tough edge that every team needs. His 16:40s from last year should progress 45 sec to a minute putting him as a tough top 5 runner. #5 Adrian Ortiz (SR) Adrian is the athlete our top 7 needs. He has the potential to challenge for our #1 spot. His talent runs deep. He works hard. He's been talking about xc for months and cant wait to get started summer training with the guys. #6 Abdidilisa
Haji (SR) Abdidilisa
will run middle 16's which will make him a solid top 7 in '09. His foot speed has and will continue to improve
helping out his overall 3 mile. #7 Abdel Elyoussoufi (JR) Was a sub 17 man in his soph year. Will be a solid top 7 runner in '09. This moroccan has huge potential IF he 100% buys in to the work we do. He is a great kid with some nice talent but must ignite the internal competitive fire that champions possess. #8 Andrew Papageorgeiou (JR) If Andrew runs the 500+ mile summer he talks of he'll be a certain top 7 and will help us greatly. He was a 2:09 1/2 miler in track and began to look like a terrific young runner. Others to Watch: Simeon Mihov (SR), Sukrins Shrestha (SO) |
