By Adam Kopet of DyeStat

After the New York teams at the top, Great Oak CA moves into a  podium position after their body of work at Stanford, Clovis and Mt. SAC. Carmel IN moves up as well after they swept the top five places at their Semi-State race last week.

The big mover this week was Lake Braddock VA. Kate Murphy continues her impressive run, but her teammates have created a solid pack that moves them up to No. 9. They swept the top five places at their conference meet on Wednesday.

Other teams that are trending up include Bozeman MT, now No. 6, after their commanding victory at the Montana State Meet, led by an elite level performance from Camila Noe. Blacksburg VA moves up to No. 13 this week after scoring 20 points to win their conference meet. Finally, Palos Verdes CA placed second at the Mt. SAC Invitational and moves up to No. 16.

California continues to lead the way in depth with six ranked teams. The Midwest and Southwest each have five, while New York has four teams in the Top 30.
