Individual Girls Final Top 100 Rankings 2022Published by
Irene Riggs Edges Out Karrie Baloga For No. 1 In Final Rankings By Doug Binder, DyeStat Editor The two best runners in the country did not race one another and both of them won a national championship meet. And Irene Riggs' NXN win was comparable to Karrie Baloga's victory last Saturday in San Diego at the Champs Sports Cross Country Championships. There is very little to separate the two and Riggs and Baloga checked every box in their individual list of goals. But Riggs' performance at NXR Southeast, where she beat a good field by 84 seconds and ran 16:02.1 tips the scale just enough to give her the final No. 1 ranking. Riggs smashed a Katelyn Tuohy course record at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C. by more than 20 seconds. Riggs also ran within three seconds of Tuohy's best at Glendoveer Golf Course in Portland. The West Virginia (Riggs) and New York (Baloga) champions are headed to the Pac-12 Conference where they could have many duels at the collegiate level. Riggs is headed to Stanford; Baloga to Colorado. The remainder of the final Top 100 is an attempt to rank the athletes who ran well enough on the national stages, and earlier, to stake a claim for a spot on the list. In some cases, it's a zippering of the Nike Cross Nationals and Champs Sports Cross Country Championships results, as those two meets carried the most weight this season. But success within the regular season and state level also factors in to the final set of cross country rankings for 2022. The Top 100 1.
