2012 NJ High School XC Rankings Poll
Week 7
With a week of County / Conference action behind us, it is interesting that there was very little movement at the top end of the rankings in this edition. On the Girls side, the top five slots stayed intact with just minor shifts in the 6-10 positions. The biggest moves came for Mount St. Dominc Academy who rose to #6 from #9 and West Windsor-Plainsboro So. dropping from #6 to #10 (the Pirate women did not race).
The Boys saw a little more movement up and down the line. After All World CBA and #2 Don Bosco Prep, Pope John jumped 2 spots to #3 while Walkill Valley and West Windsor-Plainsboro So. slide down 1 place each. The 6-9 rankings did not change, and Ridge returned to the list taking the #10 slot
