Marietta reclaims the No. 1 spot in the Class AAAAAA after a brief stint at No. 2 following their first place finish at the Adidas XC Challenge in Cary, North Carolina. Their 15:52 is the fastest time of the season in the state of Georgia. Etowah replaces Roswell at No. 10 after picking up a fourth place finish in Canton this past weekend with a time of 17:01.
Dalton takes over the No. 10 spot in the Class AAAAA thanks to their performance in Canton. The Catamounts ran a 17:30 and placed 12th overall.
Chestatee, who moved from unranked to No. 7, highlights the Class AAAA rankings. The War Eagles took second place at the West Hall Invitational in Gainesville with a time of 17:33.
A similar shakeup takes place in the Class AAA rankings as Banks County moved from unranked to the No. 7 spot. The team put together a time of 17:50 in Gainesville a week ago.
Armuchee replaces Benedictine at No. 10 in the Class AA rankings. They secured a time of 19:20 at the 24th Annual Ridge Ferry Invitational in Rome last week. Union County jumps from No. 8 to No. 3 thanks in large part to their performance at the West Hall Invitational where they finished 10th overall with a time of 18:22.
