Heading into the District week, a couple of our volunteer pollsters went the extra mile and did a set of Pre-District Rankings even though they had this week off to prepare for the Pre-Region and Pre-State Rankings over the next two weeks. Major kudos to Coach Romero and to Coach Egbert for putting these rankings together. Next week all of our pollster's will be back on their normal routine and tell us who they think are the best teams in each Region around the state.

1A Boys Rankings |

| Commentary: I used my "High Tech" approach once again, only went more in depth. This time I left you the links for the 4 mock Regional Meets and a mock State Meet based on the top 6 at each Region Meet. Here is my picture of the way things should shake out. HT is the only team that can beat HT, sorry rest of 1A but they are not known to choke. PK Yonge has added to their slight paper advantage to take an actual advantage of close to 10 points over Trinity Prep. Maclay and Circle Christian seems toin a fight for the # 4 spot lets see if Maclay laying low pays off in the end. Tampa Prep is not giving up their spot in the top 6 and wants a crack at Maclay and Circle Christian but the back end of their team needs to step up. Region 2 seems to be the Region of Death in 1A as overall ranked 12 Mount Dora Bible looks to miss the State Meet, and if they do make it that will leave home First Academy (Orlando) ranked #11 overall. Good Luck to you all. (note AVG is calculated on season best times, no feature yet to do the AVG of the AVG...ehem Jason) | |||

Individual Rankings: |
|||
| Commentary: This week was a bit hard to rank. Many courses got rained on and changed, there are "discussions" of course lengths, and many top ranked guys didn't run. The top 9 are unchanged, but # 10 Bolser and #11 Covert have awoken and want State Medals, jumping 7 and 9 spots respectively. HT is the only team with all 7 runners in the rankings, but not far behind are PKY (4) and TP (3). The only safe spots are the top 5, the next 5 can be had by anyone on this list. Good luck to you all at Districts and Regionals. | |||

Team Rankings: |

| Commentary: We are finally into November and its time for the real racing to begin. Enough of this nonsense about this course is short and this course was measured from the middle and any other stupid argument. It's now about head to head racing and nothing else the next 3 weeks. Many great match ups but none better than District 12 which has FM vs Naples vs Palmetto Ridge. Miranda and Pelletier vs Gates and Sheaer vs Brown and Shearman makes for an explosive race and this is just Districts. Woohoo ! | |||
