Lakeville South's Girls Top Class AA Poll

After a pair of victories over #1-ranked teams in the last two weeks, Lakeville South commands the #1 ranking itself in the latest Class AA girls' cross country poll released today.

The Cougars -- winners over then-#1 Eden Prairie at the Hopkins Invitational on September 11 and three-point victors last Thursday over #1 Prior Lake in Lakeville -- reside in the top position for the first time this season.

Prior Lake is #2 this week, while Roseville, the winners at the Metro Invite over the weekend, are the new #3. Eden Prairie, the defending Class AA champs, but only 4th at Metro, have fallen out of the top-12.

In the Class AA boys rankings, Eden Prairie still holds the #1 spot over two-time defending Class AA champs Wayzata. The top seven spots in the poll remain unchanged, with Edina #3 and Stillwater #4.

Jamie Piepenburg of Alexandria and Lukas Gemar of Moorhead still top the Class AA individual ranks.

In Class A, the top team and individual spots remain unchanged ahead of this weekend's Milaca Mega-Meet, where, traditionally, many of the State's top Class A schools tangle.

Perham leads both Class A team rankings; Maddie McClellan of Perham and Paul Koullick of Blake top the individual polls.
