Rank (LW) Team Last Result Comments
1
Three weeks in a row with solid running from the Caseys. 20:12 average on a muddy Holmdel course. Nothing there to say they shouldn't be number one right now!
2
The Ridge girls shoot up the rankings this week thanks to a terrific win in the A Race at Shore Coaches. 20:24 team average. Scored 65 to 73 over a talented Hillsborough squad.
3
The Hillsborough girls had a chance to race major talent (two of the top 10 were in the A Race) and they took advantage with a 20:22 team average and scoring just behind Ridge.
4
No Race
The Randolph and Haddonfield girls in off-week limbo for the mid-season rankings. They'll have their chance to move up this weekend at Manhattan. We'll be watching those races closely.

Pretty much tied for fourth in my rankings with Randolph. Read the cell above. I believe these girls will be rising over the next few weeks.
6
They ran well taking second to RBC in the Invite Race at Shore Coaches. Finishing 1 points ahead of #7 Princeton.
7
Welcome to the rankings Princeton! An awesome third place finish in the Invite race which included four currently ranked teams.
8
The Voorhees girls earned recognition with their Varsity D win. Their 20:24 average and 6th place ranking in the Merge came despite racing during the rainy part of the meet.
9
We finally saw the West Windsor South girls open up their season and they took on some tough teams in the Invite race. Excited to see where this team goes from here as they gain momentum.
10
Shawnee took on the current NJ#2 and #3 teams in the Varsity A race holding their own with 80 points, only 7 behind second place Hillsborough. They went 4-5-9-21-35, if Shawnee keeps improving those closing team scores they could be dangerous later in the season!
