Great American determines top 3 spots. Westminster rolls at Asics. (via MileSplit)
Minor movement as many AAAAAA Boys squads duked it out at Asics. Gainesville cracks the top 10. (via MileSplit)
Asics/Alexander had a big influence pf Week 8 team rankings. Harrison and Johns Creek made the trek to Disney (FL) (via MileSplit)
Georgia HS Boys ran great in 4 different States this past week. Jacob McLeod was 3rd at Great American.
Banks Co is back; they finally returned a result this week retaining the top spot, but Bleckley Co looks a very close 2nd. All of the upward movement from last week due to s short course at the Rome Floyd Co Championship (3 Mile or less) has proven unsustainable, so Armuchee and Pepperell are headed south in a hurry. 3-6 spots seems to be a battle between south Ga teams. (via MileSplit)
Bleckley County girls looked strong at the Bleckley Invitational. Their top three are likely to be in top ten in November. St Vincent's showed their hand at Bleckley placing them in the #2 spot. Banks Co. finally showed back up, with results the past 2 weeks and they look solid. Armuchee fell this week after failing to back up the performance from Floyd Rome Championship. Berrien Co slips this week and will need to close their 1-5 gap before state to have any chance of a podium finish. (via MileSplit)
Gordon Lee cements itself as the team to end Towns County’s run at the top. (via MileSplit)
These rankings are based on known times. If a school does not post their times, they can not be ranked. You can even e-mail Bruce Taylor and he will get you in contact with the ranking committee so that all schools and be ranked. GMC and Gordon Lee once again are at the top of the rankings. As it sits right now between the top three runners, there is almost no difference. Runners 4-7 will make or break who is crowned state champion in Carrollton this November. Commerce makes some gains as well. As always the state championship will be decided by the runners 4-7. For the moment, advantage GMC. (via MileSplit)
It was a shame to not see Milton get after it with some of the Nation’s best at Great American however perhaps they are saving it for Nike SE. GA still had some great showings by the rest of GA teams, most notably Lambert. Peachtree Ridge gets back into the top 10 with a blazing 16:09 avg at Asics. Only Walton will be missing out of the top 8 in the Coach Wood Championship Race. (via MileSplit)
South Forsyth continues to hold the number 1 spot by a considerable margin. This weekend will be the last chance for teams to see if they can try to keep up with the Eagles at Coach Wood before entering the post season. Should be another great race with the top 8 teams other than West Forsyth and Walton present. (via MileSplit)
Mountain Invitational has large influence on Week 8 Boys rankings (via MileSplit)
Westminster coming together, won Champ Girls race at Asics. Mountain Invite had AAA NE GA squads going head to head... (via MileSplit)
There was a lot of movement in 4A rankings this week, with Great American, FSU, Mountain Invite, Westover, and ASICS in play. Marist and St. Pius represented Georgia well in the Nike Race of Champions at Great American. White County and North Oconee had huge days at Mtn Invit. Woodward's boys ran 1:11 faster on avg at ASICS than they did at Wingfoot a week ago. (via MileSplit)

At this point the top 4 teams are really tight and it looks like any 4 could stand atop the podium in a month. Buford makes their debut in the top 10 after a good week of racing. (via MileSplit)
Asics/Alexander helped sort out AAAAA Boys in Week 8. Watch List: Veterans: 18:00 @ Houston County Championships, Clarkston: 18:18 @ Dekalb County Championships (via MileSplit)

Some major changes as most schools ran in races and reported times this week. Watch List: Hawkinsville, Telfair, Atkinson, Lake Oconee Academy (via MileSplit)
The first week where the majority of the schools ran in races. GMC looks very strong with Gordon Lee being led by Jasper Wilson is trying to close the gap. GMC has had 9 different runners score for the team this year. Runners 3-5 often make the difference at the State Championships. Watch List: Atkinson County, Lake Oconee Academy, Terrell County (via MileSplit)

Harrison is easily the top AAAAAA Girls squad at Wingfoot. (via MileSplit)
Ok, clearly Milton is on the verge of their first XC State Title.In other interesting news, could Gwinnett county fail to have a podium team including an end to Brookwood's amazing podium streak?I doubt it and I think we will get a better idea at Coach Wood, Saturday really seemed to have a strange feel on not any team completely on...except for Milton of course.
