High School Distance Rankings: Section VII

There are more than a few Section VII schools without serious distance-running programs, and that saddens me. I've been to places like Chazy and Lake Placid--the running there is impeccable. If you are a runner, coach or interested enthusiast from the area, please share the great things that our runners are doing, or programs you hope to implement and we will help (itstands@gmail.com). Our goal isn't just to rank and to judge, but to take kids who otherwise wouldn't run and introduce them to the lifelong passion that is distance running.
