Update 3 - Oct 31 Boys - Girls

Big shakeup - new #1's are Mead WA boys and Yankton SD girls - 10 new teams ranked

Former US#11 Mead WA boys beat cross town Spokane rival Ferris to take Ferris' place at the top of the boys Super 25. Yankton SD beat Roosevelt Sioux Falls SD in the South Dakota state meet in a battle of formerly US 3-4 teams to move to the top of the girls list. Yankton's path to the top opened up when former #1 Hilton NY fell hard in the Girls Eastern States race at the Manhattan Invitational. Girls Eastern States champs Midlothian VA soared from 18th to 2nd.
