Why North Oldham should be #1 in AA
Two big factors will help North Oldham take the Class AA title in 2010, a super solid 1-2 punch in Taylor Sanders and Colin Grandon and great depth well beyond the normal seven varsity runners. First, let’s look at the 1-2 punch. I remind everyone Taylor Sanders (who is finally and healthy unlike all of XC season last year) was stud as a freshmen two years ago, finishing fourth overall and leading North Oldham to the Class AA State Team title. Injuries in track his freshmen year set him back for XC his sophomore year. But he was back this past spring, running 4:31 for the 1600m. He is in great shape to score big for North Oldham possibly winning the individual title as he was only six seconds behind #1 Jared Skrabacz at the Trinity Invitational. Also, did I say he has run 15:45 and 15:46 in his last two meets? Colin Grandon is has been solid, averaging a 16:20 this season including a season best time of 16:14 last week at the Midwest Meet...
