Ten Class AA Boys Teams Running For Hardware In 2018


Edina

Edina returns four of their scoring seven runners that helped the team finish third at last year's State Meet. Edina is led by Max Manley, Minnesota's third-fastest returning runner from last year's State Meet, and runner up in the 1600m and 3200m during the track season this past spring. They also had Willem Gokemeijer place 28th last year, and Lucas Selman who finished 53rd. Like Wayzata, Edina has a lot of depth that will keep them in contention for a state title as they have 7 runners returning who have run 16:32 or faster, and many others who have run right around 17 minutes. Given the strength of their returning runners and consistent success year after year, Edina should in contention for a podium position this fall.
