November 8: PennTrackXC.com FINAL 2007 Top 10 Teams + Top 5 AA
Welcome to the second year of the PennTrackXC.com PA Cross Country Team Rankings. We begin with the Pre-Season Top 10, which was developed through voting by a state-wide panel of coaches. By popular demand, we are adding a second poll for 2007. The Top 10 will continue to be selected from all schools in PA, AA and AAA public, plus private and parochial. Our new poll will rank the top five AA teams in the state. Enjoy...
NOTE: While we are providing this service to help generate more discussion about this great sport, remember, this poll, as are most polls, is somewhat subjective. During the season, we will release a new poll each Thurdsday afternoon based upon the previous week's results. We will include as much of the rationale as possible about moves up or down. A final poll will be released the week following the PIAA State Championship.
Note to Media: Newspapers who wish to publish any of our weekly Top 10 may do so simply by crediting the PennTrackXC.com Top 10 Rankings. We would be happy to provide you with the Top 10 logo. If you would like to receive the weekly rankings as soon as they are finalized 24 hours prior to our publication each Thursday afternoon, we would provide one sportswriter/editor per newspaper with that information.
