Kulayfi Haji (center #488) ranks as the number 1 cross country runner for the class of 2010.
Below is a list of some of the top times Juniors Boys have in the 2008 cross country season. The list is by no means complete. If you have and additions or edits please send me an email at Publisher@LaneTechFan.com. Also, I would like to say that success is defined by not how fast of a time a runner runs, but how close to their running potential a runner achieves. So all runners can be successful if they put their effort to be their best (think about that). This list can permanently be found on the cross country history page.

Some up and coming juniors that many may not heard of (YET) but with good training may still make a splash:
#15 Wilson Tan is part of the #1 ranked CPS Class AA Kenwood team that returns everybody next year. Kenwood placed 9th in sectionals and is shooting for a state berth next year. Tan is the #2 ranked junior in class AA.
Jonathon Blanco is the #2 runner of a Noble Street team that made history by taking it's first ever regional title in cross country when it won the Gordon Tech Regional. Coaching has vastly improved at Noble Street and it's starting to show.
Artem Grechko showed great improvements from last year. The rest of his Lakeview teammates hope to make a splash in class AA next year as Lakeview returns it's entire top 7 varsity team next year.
