Eden Prairie Returns to Rankings ... on Top

Like a yo-yo on a string, the Eden Prairie girls' cross country team rose in this week's coaches' poll as fast as it dropped last week.

The Eagles, who opened the season at the #1-ranked Class AA team, dropped out of the top-12 last week after a 4th-place finish at the Metro Invite. This week, the defending MSHSL Class AA champions are atop the rankings again, after their win Saturday at the Apple Valley Eagle Invitational over the #1, #3, and #4-ranked teams in Class AA.

The Eden Prairie boys', winners as well at Apple Valley, continue their ride atop the Class AA boys' rankings. Jamie Piepenburg of Alexandria remains at the top Class AA girls' individual ranks. Red Wings junior Bryant Blahnik assumes the top ranking in boys' Class AA.

In Class A, the top teams -- the Perham boys and girls -- and the top individuals -- Paul Koullick of Blake and Maddie McClellan of Perham -- remain in place in the rankings.
