The following national rankings were listed on ESPN/Rise Dyestat as Powerade’s Top 50 today. I had to look up how many high schools are in the U.S. and it’s over 27,000. There was no information on how many of them have high school cross country teams. According to the National Federation of High Schools there were 198,199 girls who participated in cross country in 2009.
