Cross country all-POI teams

Due to the Pride of Iowa Conference cross country meet being cancelled due to weather, a number of area coaches approached the News Advertiser about naming an all-Pride of Iowa Conference team based off of State Qualifying Meet times.

While the News Advertiser sports staff understands Pride of Iowa cross country teams ran at a number of different sites, offering a selection of different times, we feel it is still important for these schools and individuals to get recognition for their season.

With that being said, listed below are the top 20 boys and girls Pride of Iowa finishers at State Qualify Meets across the state, making our all-Pride of Iowa Conference team.
