New NTN Regional Rankings
The Nike Team Nationals regional rankings have been updated Sept. 17, based on results through Sept. 11. Impressive early victories helped many teams move up from their pre-season ranking.. Eighteen new teams are among the 64 teams (top 4 per region) that are contenders for selection to the national meet, including eight that were unranked in the pre-season lists. New regional #1 teams this week are Fayetteville-Manlius NY, Marshall MN and Mountain View UT boys, and Kingwood TX, West Plains MO, and Fountain Valley CA girls.
The NTN Regional Rankings are the basis of the NTN team selection process. The top two teams in each region at the end of the season will be invited to compete in the Nike Team Nationals in Portland Dec. 4. The third and fourth place teams in each region are considered for the four national at-large selections. The Sept. 17 top four in each region are shown in the table below.
