Now, and in the last few weeks, absolutely. No arguing that. My point was, up until that point he hadn’t been the fastest runner in class B. This poll is intended to be current rankings based off current times, not end of season predictions. I have no problem with the B boys rankings as they stand currently (minus Red Fox... should be lower). Just not for the first few polls of the season. The first few weeks, there were several faster runners.
It starting to sound you like you have something against the new town runners just be happy your runner is in the top ten in class B the Shiloh kid is exactly were he should be ranked. White from New Town is the best in class B enjoy the rest of season and good luck to all team's at region and state.
It’s wrong for you to assume anything, and or put words in my mouth. I’ve said multiple times that I have nothing against NewTown or their runners. They are truely great people on and off the course. I wish them nothing but the best! I do have a problem with the polls though, as I’ve been explaining, if you would go back and read my statements. Seems as though I’m not the only one. Someone else agrees that research is t being done when making these votes. It’s a shame. Give the kids credit when it’s due. Robert White is due credit. Now. Not when he was the 3rd fastest runner in class B. Great kid. Don’t try and speak for me. I do a good job of doing that for myself.
