The latest edition of the PTXC Team Power Rankings is here and there's a new team on top! Scored like a meet, the rankings are meant to show what teams have the most depth. It's not necessarily predictive of the state meet because many of the athletes in multiple events may not be able to compete in both for various reasons like relay duties or opting to run a later event fresh. Still, this is something fun meant to generate some buzz around some of the deepest teams in the state. Here's a look at the top boys teams in the power rankings.
Calculated as of February 03, 2016
These rankings were calculated by scoring the rankings as a meet. We scored 20 deep for individuals and 20 deep for relays. For example, for individuals 1st place received 20 points for their team, on down to 1 point for 20th place.
