Connecticut's Top Teams
Choosing
a list of top ten teams is tough until the season opens up and we can
see how squads have come together. In depth discussion for the conferences
and classes will be included in the rest of the articles in this series.
The team 5K average times listed are a very general average of the
projected top 5 returning runners from 2020 times (and conversions from 4K, 2.5 mile, and 3 mile distances). As results come in during the season, we will be adding speed rating comparisons for teams.
