Boys XC Rankings

Rank Team Last Result Comments
1
Idle. Will resume action at the Carlisle Invitational on Saturday
2
Edged out Indian Hills and LaSalle to win at Briarwood. Top 3 look very strong with R. James, P. James and Inglis.
3
A strong start at Briarwood, just 5 points off the win. Depth will prove to be a major strength.
4
Another solid spread, this week in Ohio. NA still lacks a frontrunner for now, but the season is young.
5
Injuries and illness fell upon CRN at Briarwood as they took 4th. Still plenty of time for this squad to regain strength and be a power like usual.
6
Idle. Likely next race is Paul Short at Lehigh in two weeks.
7
Big winners at Harrier Invite, displaying that great depth. A dangerous team for sure. Foundation is next for this group.
8
Idle. Next up in the PIAA Foundation Invite in Hershey.
9
3-4-5 against some of D3's best at Big Spring and a 23 point romp for the team win. Shea, Giannascoli, and Cassel are a very strong trio.
10
Idle. Next up is Carlisle where we get our first real good look at how good the defending AAA champs are.

Editor's Comments

Another week and a few more answers to the team situation. Carlisle holds on to the top spot after an off weekend. Cardinal O'Hara with a close win at Briarwood moves up to 2, while LaSalle looms just behind them. North Allegheny continues to show some great pack running and stays put at 4.

CR North moves down after a fourth at Briarwood, but they were without some pieces. Lower Dauphin is the new entry to the rankings as CB West drops out. Just on the outside are Cedar Crest (2nd at Ben Bloser with a 28 second 1-5 spread), Central Bucks East (Division I winners at Briarwood), Central Bucks West (fifth in Briarwood Champ Race) Cumberland Valley (idle), Germantown Friends (winners at George School), Mechanicsburg (idle), Mount Lebanon (idle), Seneca Valley (idle), William Tennent (sixth at Briarwood Champ Race), and Winchester Thurston (idle).
