With the Wendy's Invitational and the Tanglewood Invitational the last couple weekends, many of the states finest were able to race one another. Both meets saw teams running with incomplete top 7's, but I'd say coaches noticed.
The next 3 weeks are an excited time with conferences, regionals, and state meets. The first state meets are actually in 2 weeks at the Wake Med Soccer Complex. The NCISAA 1A, 2A, & 3A teams will finish up their seasons and crown the state champs.
Note on upcoming polls:
*The next poll will be next week, after the conference meets have been run. So votes will be due next Monday night. Also the Independent school classifications will be broken up for the first time.
*Then a special "State Meet Prediction" poll will be conducted the following week. Coaches will be asked to predict the top 16 in each classification that they feel comfortable voting for.
**First place votes are in parenthesis
