Minnesota Girls All-Decade Cross Country Team


The contributing staff at MileSplit Minnesota follows up the boys list with the a look at the best girls Minnesota cross country runners of the last ten years. It's always difficult to narrow a list down to just seven so we made a first, second and third team of the ten year span from 2010-2019. Performances at big meets like the Roy Griak Invitational and at championships like conference, section and state meets long with NXR, NXN results were all taken into consideration. 

***note MN race times from pre-2015 are 4k***

(Names within each team are listed alphabetical order. Athlete's graduation year listed after high school.)
