NTN regional rankings - Week 10
Tenth edition of the in-season lists. Based on results through Nov 12
Northeast | Southeast | South | Midwest |
Heartland | Southwest | Northwest | California |
How the rankings process works - NTN home page
Teams are shown as clubs because the runners at NTN will compete as clubs rather than schools. The only change at the top this week was in the Northeast boys, where Saratoga was rewarded with #1 ranking after upsetting prior #1 Fayetteville-Manlius in the New York public schools state championship. The two teams face each other again tomorrow in the New York Federation championships at Bowdoin State Park with automatic bids on the line to the top two teams in the region; New Jersey will also have a say in this as NE#3 Christian Brothers Academy and NE#4 Morris Hills tangle in the New Jersey all-group Meet of Champions at Holmdel Park. Top two teams in each region this week are:
