It was a great day for McIntosh as they swept the team titles. Erin Leonard and Nick Nyman win Overall honors.

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)

The top 7 from last week's Rankings stand pat for this week. Union Grove may have tightened the gap a bit on #1 Dunwoody (OFF) after a 20:30 at Atlanta Classic. Woodland, Riverwood and Winder jumped back into the top 10 after racing well Saturday.

For the 5A Week Ending 9-20 Team Rankings the only movement up was by McIntosh's Boys after winning the Coach Daley Invite by 1 point over  and Morrow cracking the top 10 for perhaps the first time in recent history. Northgate's Girls shot up to 6th after Coach Daley (which they hosted)  Woodland Cartersville and Columbus both moved up as well. 

Wow! Was there a ton of movement in 5A Boys this past week!  Forsyth Central woke up and hit the ground running after dropping a few slots in Week 3 and tore it up at Warpath living up to their pre-season billing. Lakeside Evans ran well at Furman placing 2nd overall defeating 4A North Hall. Creekview supporters are rewarded after their Boys destroyed the field in the 4A-5A race at Carrollton and Starrs Mill had a good showing in the Championship race. Clarkston may have had a tough race at 'Ortho' dropping 7 spots. 4A Girls was fairly quiet as only Flowery Branch jumped over Cambridge and Woodland-Cartersville cracked the top 10 from the 'Watch List'

Compared to many meets today the Mercy Campus was about empty by 10:45am as the heat rushed patrons and runners alike to their cars/busses to get cool.  The Individual Varsity races were a display of domination by Reilly Friedman and FCA's Emma Grace Hurley. Whitewater's Boys took the team title over a deeper Rockdale Co squad. Mega-school Centennial won the Girls Varsity team race. On a sad note, Helen Williams of AIS is out for the season with stress fracture of the hip. 

This class is going to be very tight if things hold up on paper (which they rarely do, and why we run the races) A big miscue, False Start, DQ could cost the 5A team title. The players are Pope, which is strong all around. Miller Grove who has incredible speed and trackstar Tiffany Flynn. North Springs whose real scoring ops will be the sprints, hurdles and relays. New Manchester will rely on their speed, relays, hurdles and horizontal hops. Northside WR has Cassondra Hall whose the favorite to take the 100/200, and strong relays. Forest Park's strengths are on the Field and Hurdles.
