<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">NCRunners is counting down the top 25 boys teams heading into the fall season. The full rankings will be released on the first day of official practice: Friday, August 1st. These are subjective rankings (not computer generated); they take into account returning team rankings, returning team averages, team rankings in the 1600 and 3200 from indoor and outdoor track, and a school's "Improvement Rating." Improvement Rating is a custom metric developed by researching the improvement in a team's 5-person average from year to year, in comparison to that same team's ranking. Improvement Rating numbers and methodology will be released on the weekend of August 2nd.</span></p>
One of the teams in this photo rose sharply up the rankings, and another slid out of the top 25 entirely.

Has the potential to be top-20, but fell in the rankings due more to the improvement shown by teams ranked just behind them at the end of 2013.
