Cook Leaves No Doubts By Winning Two National Championship Races

By Doug Binder, DyeStat Editor

Unlike some years in the recent past, there is no debate over the No. 1 high school girl cross country runner in the U.S. Natalie Cook of Lewisville Flower Mound deserves all the awards and accolades after sweeping the Garmin RunningLane Championship on a fast track in Huntsville, Ala. (16:03.9) and Eastbay Nationals in San Diego (17:15.0). 

Cook began her season by taking third in her first major competition of the season at the Woodbridge Cross Country Classic, which kept her out of the top in the rankings. But her late push made her the first Texas girl to finish No. 1. Pre-season No. 1 Jenna Hutchins of Science Hill TN opted to not race this fall in order to focus on her classroom requirements so that she could enroll early at BYU. 

Cook came close to Hutchins' top achievement of 2020, coming within five seconds of the Tennessee standout's course record in Huntsville. 

The end-of-season rankings are weighted heavily on each runner's final performance of the season. First off, it's the most recent data point for evaluation, and second, the championship races are the ultimate test. 

The top 10 is largely constructed by who finished closer to Cook in either of the championship races. At Eastbay, her margin over New Jersey's Angelina Perez was 4.7 seconds. At RunningLane, her margin over Indiana's Lily Cridge was about 19 seconds. 

The final list is a zippering together of the two championships' results, plus finding holes to find appropriate spots for top runners who did not attend either one.
