5A rankings, October 14

If you believe what the polls are suggesting, we're fixing for a couple of very close state meet races at the 5A level. On the boys side, Fort Collins and Mountain Vista both collect a few first-place votes, with a serious chase pack behind them. On the girls side, Monarch hasn't quite convinced everyone, and the Cherry Creek team has appeared quite resilient this year. If either misses a step, we know Fort Collins, Pine Creek, and Fairview have potential to take advantage of opportunity.
