Boys Preseason All-Classes Team Rankings

You probably guessed the #1 team in the rankings by now, but now spots 16-25 are revealed as well.

 

The list began with the returning 5000 rankings from the 2011 cross country season, and then modifications were made based on improvements during the spring track season, runners lost, and recent program history. Teams were divided into tiers based on their score in the returning rankings (given in bold within each team's box), then sorted within each tier.  In some cases, a team with many signs of improvement was moved up to a higher tier.  Bonus consideration was given to teams with tight packs (at least 3 of the top 5 within 30 seconds of each other) and front runners (under 16 minutes for boys, under 18:45 for girls).  Subscribers can view the statistics that were used in the rankings process:
