Summary of Northeast Top Ten, Week Ending Oct. 20, 2007

By Matt Soja, Dyestat NE Regional Editor

Boys - Girls

After a weekend of tough racing at Manhattan and other big meets, last week was more low-key with most teams easily dominating their conference or county meets and only a few going to weekend invitationals. Next weekend, the real championship action will start with sectional and district meet in several states, and in case of New Hampshire already the state championship meet.
