Episode 57 - 2021 XC (Mid) Season Preview

We said we were going to do it and we finally did. Here are our rankings as we head into the real part of the season. With Pre-Nats and Paul Short this weekend, the D3 Landscape will take shape. For now, we ranked the top 10 and as the season progresses we will get to the top 32.
