Following Week of Saturday, September 18
As
always, Week
1 rankings include a lot of guesses and a few omissions as many teams
either have not run in an invitational, competed with partial squads, or
are just heavily into the development process for the back part of the
lineup. A lot of teams were at the McDaniels-Baxter Pre-States meet on
Saturday, but for big chunk of the teams the meet served as more of a
relaxed exploration of the course on a day that turned pretty beastly
for the later races. Elsewhere, some major invites such as Suffern,
Queensbury, Regis, Bob Pratt, West Seneca West, and Red Dragon were big
influencers on setting the baseline for the 2021 rankings. Results from
previous week's meets such as the VVS, Warwick Wave, Somers Big Red,
Springstead Shaker, and Blackbird are also featured. Much, more more to
come in the weeks ahead.
