I want to thank everyone who participated in the fan poll. It was very fun to watch individuals, schools, and communities, (Sarah Hines received more votes than live in her hometown), rally behind these athletes. They were all deserving and other deserving athletes were left off of the list (for that I do apologize), as Kansas was a very "deep" talented state this year.
I look forward to doing it again this fall for XC and in the future, as well as other upcoming polls. Because of your support this past week the fans have made this the number 1 milesplit state in America! Thank you again.
Jim
