Check out our watch list for 2022-23 USA TODAY HSSA Boys Cross Country Player of the Year – USA TODAY

The USA TODAY High School Sports Awards is pleased to announce its watch list for the 2022-23 USA TODAY HSSA Boys Cross Country Team!
This initial list includes 50 current student-athletes who meet the nomination criteria for this year’s national Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year Award. These athletes were either nominees in last year’s national awards show, or athletes who were seriously considered based on season-wide performance, state and national championships, and any other state, regional and/or national recognition. 
This year’s official 2022-23 USA TODAY HSSA Boys Cross Country Team will be announced this winter. All final team members will be honored as nominees for national Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year. The winner, along with three finalists, will be revealed during the third annual USA TODAY High School Sports Awards. Visit the event website for updates leading up to this summer’s on-demand event!
