After ranking our top 50 teams before the season we will post updated top 25 rankings at the beginning of every week!

There wasn't as much action this past week as many teams took a lull between a busy October 5th slate and championship season which starts next week. Some teams (like Severna Park and South River) did compete, but without their 'A' squads. That Severna Park challenged River Hill at Frank Keyser with their 'B' squad is a testament to just how deep the Falcons continue to be.

No teams moved up by more than one spot this week aside from Fallston, who jumps into the top 25 for the first time all season. The Cougars finished second in the small school division at Frank Keyser and finished fifth in the post-race virtual meet, ahead of large school teams like Howard and Arundel.
