as far as the edc, maybe not all that great...

you got shanley, central, red river and south all competing with west fargo next year. central's returning 5 was all under 17.45 at state last year, shanley's under 18.30, and red river's under 18.50. also keep in mind that both grand forks schools got hit by the flu pretty badly the week of state. right now for the edc id say

1. Central. top 5 at state (harlow, fisher, shafer, alex and andrew torrey) are all returners.
2. Shanley. good depth there and 2 pretty strong leaders with the naylors.
3. Red River. mendee and francois leading the team with a group of young guys following a ways back.
then it will likely be wf, followed by south, north, wahpeton and devils lake.

1. GF Central
2. Shanley-OG
3. Fargo North (they just need one more runner to come out from their co-op with Kindred)
4. Fargo South
5. Red River (they could be #4 also...it is kind of a toss-up right now)
6. West Fargo
7. Valley City (they have to move back to Class A next year and they could be anywhere from #4-#7...its too hard to tell right now with them)
8. Wahpeton/Devils Lake

(?? Does Davies start running varsity next year or in 2011??)

I'm pretty sure that Davies varsity starts next year, and if they do, goodbye any hope for south cross next year.

Very true, Very true! If Davies does start next season than the rankings would shift like this:
1. GF Central
2. Shanley-Oak Grove
3. Fargo North
4. Red River
5. West Fargo
6. Davies
7. Wahpeton
8. Fargo South
9. Valley City
10. Devils Lake/

You are forgetting the fact that most of GFC and some other EDC were hit by the flu bug right before and during the state meet.

That can't even be considered a good argument. GFC was not the only school who had sick athletes take Bismarcks Lane Kashur for example. The were people sick all across the state.
