4A Boys Team Ranking:
The top three teams all have one thing in common: tight packs with nearly 60 seconds between their 1st and 5th runners. This ranking is based solely on where they are currently and who they have run so far. The remainder of the season will depend on two factors: which pack moves up together and which team’s 6th and 7th runners can move into a position to displace another team’s 5th runner.

4A Boys Individual Ranking:
This ranking is based mostly on returning times from last year’s State Finals and the 1 or 2 races that some athletes have run so far. The 4A individual title has been won by non-favorites the last few years since Reinhardt graduated. It will be exciting to see how this class plays out, knowing this list will change drastically as some schools have yet to open their racing season.
