Editor's Comments

Out of the rankings:

Bellarmine College Prep (CA) - Two not so great races in a row. Not sure if they are running at full strength or not but its tough too keep them ranked when CA is so deep.

Saint John's (MA) - Won the Bowdoin XC Classic Boys Varsity 2 race scoring 53 points. Beat Princeton HS but Princeton was not at full force. Finished 5th in the results merge which hurt their case.

Staples (CT) - Finished 3rd in the Bowdoin XC Classic results merge scoring 95 points. Behind unranked Haddonfield Mem. HS.

Southlake Carroll (TX) - Took 5th at the Woodbridge XC Classic with 197 points.
