NTN Regional Rankings Sep 24
The Nike Team Nationals regional rankings have been updated Sept. 24, based on results through Sept. 18. Early season results continue very volatile, with 36 new teams among the 160 teams ranked. However, it was quite stable at the top with only one new regional #1 team out of 16 -- Pope John Paul FL girls in the Southeast Region.
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. See Sept. 24 top 4
