Science Hill did not receive any votes in our preseason rankings but has climbed their way into the Top 10 on the back of a strong team average and 7th overall Composite Ranking.
Boys Team Rankings: September 7th Update
After one month of the season, voters were provided with the Top 10 teams based our preseason rankings feature PLUS any team that was ranked in the Top 20 of our composite rankings to allow voters to select a team that has yet to debut in the 5000m distance this fall. Voters were asked to rank the top ten in order. Teams were awarded points based on votes then divided by the number of voters to provide a rating index. Much like the BCS Rankings from college football, 1.000 would be considered a perfect team rating meaning every voter ranked your team number one. Here are the rankings based off those results. In parentheses is the team's previous ranking. NR = Not Ranked
