St. Francis' Zutz Tops Class AA Boys' Poll

Adam Zutz, the top-finishing Minnesotan in the Gold Division of the Griak Inviational two weekends ago, is the new #1-ranked Class AA boys harrier in Minnesota.

The St. Francis junior (pictured) assumed the top spot in the latest coaches poll, replacing Red Wing's Bryant Blahnik, who fell to #9 after a third place finish at his home invitational last week.
Eden Prairie junior Aaron Bartnik and Bloomington Jefferson senior Jake Sandry round out the top-three.

The top spots in the rankings remained unchanged this week: Eden Prairie's boys and girls' squads top Class AA; the Perham teams top Class A; and Jamie Piepenburg of Alexandria (Class AA girls), Paul Koullick of Blake (Class A boys), and Maddie McClellan of Perham (Class A girls), still rule their respective divisions.

Full Class A rankings are HERE.
