As you may have expected, this last week's action produced a few changes in the rankings.
Pine Creek's win at the Arapahoe Invitational propelled them all the way to fourth in 5A girls. Mountain Vista's strong showing and Fort Collins game of hide-and-seek at Arapahoe netted a switch in the order of the top two in 5A boys. Those take care of the most apparent changes in the rankings, but several other, more subtle, movements took place as well.
Some important non-changes in the polling order included Cherry Creek, Monarch, and Fort Collins more or less being given a pass, at least for this time around, for their missing runners at Arapahoe.
