There wasn't much movement in 1A Private girls this past week. Hebron remains #1 after Furman. If Landmark Christian can get healthy by Region/State things could flip..Athens Academy remains 3rd as they beat PCA several weeks ago heads up. Mount Paran, Walker and Athens Christian all moved up.
An extremely active week for 1A Private Boys teams with Asics and Hebron Lions Showcase. Landmark Christian is the team to beat, though working thru some minor injuries. PCA moves ahead of Hebron after their Asics performance. Athens Academy moves into 5th after Furman and Whitefield shoots into 7th after running well at Asics.
Coach Wood will be a battleground Saturday for many of these top ranked squads. Little movement with Harrison jumping into 7th after Furman and Westminster is back in the top 10 after their 3rd place effort at Asics.
The Nike/Fleet Feet Coach Wood meet is going to shape things up...(Riley Friedman won in 2014) Five of the top 6 teams Varsity were off. Milton won Furman impressively. 4 4A squads remain in the top 10!
Westminster retained their top ranking running well @ Asics. Blessed trinity ran a mixed squad, Hart County remains a solid 3rd after Asics. Oconee County moves up after 22:44 team average @ Asics. Jefferson is back in the top 10 this week.
Blessed Trinity stays #1 after placing 3rd @ Asics. oconee County defeated East Jackson @ Asics, but the gap between the 2 is slowly closing...Jefferson beat Dawson last week. No other movement.
There was no movement in 4A Girls for the top 7 teams...but Johnson (Gainesville) lept into 8th after being unranked placing 2nd at Hall County. Woodward is back in the top 10 after Asics. Watch list (in no order) Buford and Chestatee.
Whitewater ran well as a team winning the Asics meet. Johnson (Gainesville) may have defeated nemesis North Hall for the first time in school history winning the Hall County meet. Buford and Eagle's Landing are back in the top 10 this week. Coach Wood should be a showdown with Marist vs St.Pius X.. Watch list (in no order) Chestatee, Pickens and White Co
Pace is on the move back up the polls with a couple good performances. Bleckley girls move up a space after home run results looked promising. SVA continues to put themselves in podium conversation with another 1st place team performance. Wesleyan and Darlington will be too close to call until first week in November.
Bleckley successful at home with win and a mere 19 points! Pace and Wesleyan run almost even times and look to be similar in nature to the girls #2-3 with too close to call.
Big Showdowns coming at the Coach Wood meet this Saturday! South Forsyth closed the gap on Northview a bit at Asics. Harrison moved up 2 spots after their Furman race. Woodstock on the watch list after Cherokee County.
Not much movement this week in 6A as most of the 'Big Boys' were resting up for the Coach Wood Invitational which is going to be 'off the chain' and Ga.MileSplit will be onsite! Woodstock leapfrogged county rival Etowah after winning Cherokee County.
Dunwoody maintains their top ranking, after their 19:41 team average at Asics. Alot of moving and shakin' going on in the bottom 5 though... Starrs Mill closed the gap on rival McIntosh at Asics. Northgate jumped up 4 spots and Jones County may be in the top 10 for the first time in recent history at 8th!
Alexander retains their top ranking after a solid race at Alexander/Asics. Not much movement upwards except for Fayette County schools McIntosh and Starrs Mill both moved up in the Rankings after their performance at Alexander/Asics. Cambridge is back in the top 10 after Alexander/Asics as well.

Here are this past week's HS Girls 'Runners of the Week' for each classification. Most of the selectees came from the Alexander/Asics Invitational.
It was a terrific weekend of racing which produced some very fast times. Savannah Carnahan earned the Ladies honors and Thomas Moore on the Boys side.
Not much movement this week, we had teams on one of the quicker courses in North Georgia @ Mountain but then some went to Westover on a really fast course. Teams that didn't go to either of those took the week off and are probably set to go to Asics this weekend. Maybe after most AA teams get a chance on fast courses we might be able to do a bit more comparing. SVA on the girls side looks strong with a series of wins. Definitely on the radar and inching closer and closer to the podium. Can't wait to see them chase down of the girls from AA at Carrollton in a few weeks.

Again most teams were either off, Mountain, or Westover.
With 12 of the top 20 1A Private Girls Teams OFF - The decision was made for the rankings to NOT be changed this week. However, watch for movement following this upcoming Saturday! If we don't get flooded again as is the current forecast..Landmark Christian needs to get healthy by Region/State.
Most of the top 10 was off last week except #1 Landmark Christian who won the Strong Rock meet. Hebron Christian travelled to Jesse Owens and placed 4th in the Small School race (17:36) with Mark 'Franken' Stein winning the Overall title. North Cobb Christian also trekked to Jesse Owens, but competed in a large school race fairing well with a 18:22 team avg.
A busy week for 4A girls squads despite the nasty weekend. Marist may have had their best race of the season at FSU. St.Pius X was 10th down in Tallahasee with a strong team average of 20:05. Once again the Mountain Invitational played a big part in sorting out this week’s rankings as White County surged up to 3rd this week. North Oconee put it all together at Mtn rising to 4th. Eagle's Landing ran well on their home course at Henry County Championships.
Marist ran very well at FSU besting St.Pius X who went after it early. North Oconee won the Mountain Invitational and are back in the All Class top 10 this week. Whitewater won a diluted Fayette County meet and the Mountain Invitational cleared thing up a little from 4-10.
