Who do you think has improved the most in Carroll County CC since last year?
I vote for Doug Findeisen from South Carroll.
At the Counties last year, he was 28th in the JV race. 46 varsity guys had better times than he did which technically put him at 74th in the county.
He is currently ranked 11th in the county according to spongebob's rankings. WOW!!

I would vote Doug!
Another big improvement (from Liberty) - Shannon Henretty is running faster splits per mile now then her Mile PR was last year in track at one time. Her 1st mile at NC (which wasn't too fast for her now) was only about 15 seconds from her 1600 PR in track at the end of the season last year.
Rachel Sykes from SC also has had a huge improvement.

I didn't run XC last year, but I can honestly say that Doug has worked his butt off, and is probably the most improved runner. He ran a million miles this summer and is right up there with the best in the county. His improvement has really turned our team around.

Yes Doug is a great example at what summer running can do for you. I know without a doubt that alot of schools are now going to go out during the summer and practice. I wouldnt of went running during the summer if it wasnt for others on my team but this is also great motivation to know you can drop a couple minutes off your time like Doug did.

I also agree that doug is probablly the most improved guy runner. He put a lot of hard work and effort into this season and it is paying off.
As for the most improved girl, since I don't really know about anyone other then on our team, I'll have to go with Rachel Sykes.
