#17: Blacksburg Takes NXR & States by Storm!

Coming in at #17 overall and #2 for XC on our list is Blacksburg's Girls XC Team completely clobbering their state and NXR competition. These girls led by Jen Fleming and Bonnie Angermeier were not only talented but shockingly deep too. This team also goes down as one of the top three teams all-time in Virginia and arguably the best.

They won the 3A State title with a whopping 23 points, 24 ahead of Loudoun Valley. They also averaged 18:42 for their seven which was 42 seconds faster then anyone else's team. They would then go on to win their NXR meet by a huge margin and average a blistering 18:11 for that 5K.

These girls eventually would also win the indoor state team title to make it 5 straight state championships in a row in 3A.
