Very little movement in the Final Class Ranking of the Fall except for Roswell shooting up to 7th after a great race at 5-AAAAAA. Marietta looks unbeatable on 11-7. The 2-4 Podium spots will be wildly contested on what's forecasted to be a beat up, sloppy course in the afternoon.
Flowery Branch is beginning to look like 'The Branch' again after a 16:59 avg at the Horse Park. Clarkston loves Carrollton, and must be anticipating Saturday after the Angoras shot up 6 spots to 4th! Any of the 'Watch List' teams could crack the top 10 on 11-7
The only movement in Girls 5A was Starrs Mill moving up 2 spots after taking 2nd at 4-AAAAA. Dunwoody's top 5 hasn't raced since Coach Wood.
Region 8-AAAA was brutal last week as several good squads will stay home this weekend.
Only movement from Region Madness was North Oconee moving ahead of White County into 3rd.
AAA Boys had alot of movement from 6-10 from last week.
The Final Podium spot is wide open in AAA Girls after last week.
Lovett's in control and should repeat. Podium Spots for 2-4 up for grabs! Can SVA climb the Podium?
Region Madness had the 1A Private Boys scramling up and down the Rankings
Landmark Christian is firmly back in control after their Region 5-A Performance.
Great performance at Last Chance by Anna Marian Block at 18:28 & Gerardo Suarez was top male at same meet in 16:50.
Here are your HS Boys ROWs by Class for Week Ending 10-25. Region Madness ROWS next week!
Here are your HS Girls ROWs by Class for Week Ending 10-25. Region Madness ROWS next week!
This week's Rankings extended thru 10-20 taking into account Clarke Oconee Championships as Athens Academy moves into 4th. Galloway ran well at Coach Wood moving to 5th. OLM did well @ Coach Wood breaking into the top 10 at 8th. All teams designated 11th are in no particular order. Many teams will be at Last Chance including Landmark Christian, Athens Academy, Paideia, Galloway, OLM, FPD, North Cobb Christian and Whitefield Academy. It would be great if they ran in the same race...
Word going around is Landmark Christian is close to being healthy again...Athens Academy seems to have found their #5 at Clarke Oconee...
No change on the the girls rankings this week. Most people took the week off in preparation for region. A few ran at Coach Wood, Rome Area (no results but I was only able to see them), and Fishy Invite (that looked much slower than previous years?
It was an extremely slow week for AA racing and there was little movement for the Boys squads. Only A few ran at Coach Wood, Rome Area and Fishy Invite (that ran much slower than previous years?) Model did defeat Darlington by a few points at the Rome Area meet. I currently am trying to get the results in a format I can use.
Like the Boys, a fairly dead week for the Girls. No movement amongst the top 10. It will be interesting how many AAA schools go to Last Chance for a preview. There will be some broken hearts at the 8-AAA meet on 10-27.
It wasn't a busy week of racing in Boys 3A and there was no movement amongst the top 10. the most significant performance was by Oconee County as the Warriors gave the All-Class ranked North Oconee squad all they could handle at the Clarke Oconee Championships Tuesday. No Warrior squad has raced this well since the 2004/2005 teams. Definitely closed the gap some on Westminster & Blessed Trinity and may have put some distance between an ever improving East Jackson squad.
No one is gaining any ground on Marist who placed 4th at Coach Wood. Heritage Catoosa and Grady both moved up. North Oconee ran very well at the Clarke Oconee Championships
There was very little movement in 4A from this past week. North Hall avenged their loss to Johnson from the County meet last week besting them @ Coach Wood in the Varsity Gold race. Whitewater, Buford and Eagle's landing were off.
5A Girls Rankings held serve except for Alexander cracking the top 10 after not being ranked. Union Grove, McIntosh, Starrs Mill and Northgate will square off this Saturday in Region 4-AAAAA at Heritage Christian Course.
Many of the top teams moved around in the 5A Boys rankings this week excluding top 2 Alexander and Forsyth Central. Cambridge jetted up to 3rd after Coach Wood, Flowery Branch moved back into the top 4 and Clarkston laid an egg dropping down to 10th. Starrs Mill and McIntosh rested up for Region 4-AAAAA coming up Saturday.
Coach Wood really shook up the 6A Girls Team Rankings as every team in the top 10 moved either up or down. South Forsyth may be slowly closing the gap back on Northview heading into Region. Etowah ran great moving up 3 spots after their performance at Coach Wood. North Paulding tore it up bbreaking bad into 9th. *All teams designated 11th are in no particular order*
Coach Wood set things straight (for now) heading into Carrollton Last Chance followed by Region meets! Mill Creek ran great moving back to 2nd. Woodstock won the Sharptop Invitational. Walton is beginning to look like 'Walton' heading into the final 17 days of the 2015 season.
The Nike Fleet Feet Coach Wood meet certainly is responsible for all the movement in the All Class Boys Rankings this week!
South Forsyth ran LIGHTS OUT at Coach Wood, their #3-5 runners really stepped up to finish 2nd behind Northview. West Forsyth was off this week and stay in the top 10. North Paulding jumps into the watch list after a strong performance at Coach Wood finishing 11th.
Some outstanding racing last week at Nike-Fleet Feet Coach Wood from Frank Pittman of Marist and Sue Ann Morales from East Jackson at Sharptop!
Here are last week's Georgia HS Girls 'Runners of the Week'!
