Snowshoe rankings

With the National championships in our backyard (Woodford, VT), I thought I throw out some "ranking" of New England runners.  It has been a tough winter so far with little snow, although I have managed to do 4 snowshoe races so far.  I'm only ranking people who've actually raced and I'm using the USSSA rules, so your age is whatever you will be on Dec. 31, 2014.  Rankings are based on results I've seen, as we get more results I hope to refine this.  Every snowshoe race is different and depth of snow, amount of climb, distance of the race, can all effect how certain runners do.  This is just my current opinion subject to my whims.  If you don't like what I've posted then do your own rankings, they'll be just as official as mine.
