Road to a Repeat

By Erik Boal, DyeStatCAL Editor

As the 2015 cross country season starts, we caught up with the athletes and coaches who graced the podium last year at Woodward Park in Fresno as state champions, many for the first time, some extending impressive dynasties. The state final is Nov. 28 at Woodward Park and all 10 teams, some relying on impact transfers, will again be in the hunt for division titles.
