With outdoor track and field meets (other than time trials) beginning on 2/8, it's time to take a look at some team "power rankings' by class. Being that COVID-19 derailed the 2020 season effective on 3/13/20, undoubtedly times and marks for probably across the board would be significantly better, to say the least. But, it's somewhere to get us started taking a look at which teams did have some individuals performing well the first month of last season. One disclaimer, relays cannot take into account what members of them graduated. However, being that the 4x800 will be scored at State in May it will be included as part of the equation.
Calculated as of January 31, 2021
These rankings were calculated by scoring the rankings as a meet. We took the individual rankings and relay rankings and scored them as a normal meet: 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1.
Athletes whose graduation years are unknown were left out of the list.
