We wanted to see which Connecticut girls cross country class the strongest over the last 20 years. So we took the top 7 athletes from each graduating class based on their overall high school personal bests. Then we sorted all 147 athletes by their personal best and scored them in the normal cross country scoring format of the combined total of 1-5 and the 6th and 7th runners displacing.
The 2014 class of graded with Claire Howlett, Cate Allen, Laura Hergenrother, Christine Bendzinski and Alyssa Brehler grade out as the state's top graduating class with 63 points and a 1-5 average of 18:13.38 just ahead of the class of 2016.
