7
3rd 15:07.60
He hasn't run yet, will be opening up at Clovis. It's hard to keep him at number one when he hasn't run yet. We are excited for when he does and he definitely has potential to move back up.

12
10th 15:45.90
Won his season opener at the Bowdoin Park Classic running 16:14.90. He had a 184 speed rating. We did hear that it was an easier effort as he's saving for bigger races this year.
13
6th 15:59.41
He still has no times listed on his Profile from this season. He told us in a preseason Q&A that he will be running at the Bay State Invitational which is in three weekends.
14
1st 14:54.00
He's time at the Cherokee Classic in Tennessee was way more impressive than we had originally thought. It was speed rated at a 192.
15
1st 16:12.00
Won the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival in Arkansas running 15:20.3.
16
28th 15:45.10
He had a great race showing he is the best guy right now in the battle for the state of Idaho. Erikson ran a 15:09.4 which is his new 5K XC PR. His performance was speed rated at a 190.
17
7th 14:53.40
Renfree won the Trinity / Valkyrie Invitational in Kentucky. He ran a 186 speed rating and we found out he was sick while running at the Cherokee Classic.
18
1st 15:24.91
Young crushed a 14:01.1 to win the Woodbridge Cross Country Classic. His race was speed rated at a 189. It was a big performance from the junior to put him in the national rankings. He also beat previously MileSplit50 No. 14 ranked Kevin Ramos.
19
1st 14:48.70
Placed runner up at the Woodbridge Cross Country Classic. Ramos still ran a PR on that course with his time of 14:03.40. His speed rating was a 188.
20
1st 10:54.50
Strangio still has the same three performances in the database as he did for the week 1 update, but he's got big things on the horizon. We've heard he's supposed to be running at Clovis. There he will face off against Liam Anderson in his season opener. (Possibly Stanford as well but it sounds like it will be a game time decision.)
21
1st 15:49.00
Harrison didn't post the most impressive time from his most recent meet, but he had no one to run with. There was no one else within a minute of him. He absolutely crushed the competition with what appeared to be a very easy effort. He's been undefeated on the season so far.
22
TX
2nd 16:13.00
Did not race the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival, but we heard that he could be looking to race the McNeil Invitational this weekend.

Editor's Comments

Off The Top 25:

Tommy Brady - Won the Minooka Flighted Invitational on September 15th, but then took 2nd this weekend (Sept 22nd) behind Josh Methner from Hersey High School.

Matthew Meinke - He was behind Drew Bosley and Rowen Ellenberg. Bosley ran 14:51.6, Ellenberg was 15:02.4 and Meinke was 15:06.5. This was a solid performance with a 185 speed rating for Meinke 185. He's definitely a guy to keep an eye on. He was a hard guy to drop off the list.

Parker Stokes - He ran easy at his first meet of the season. He will be opening at McQuaid in full force, we will see if he makes it back into the top 25 after that.

Davis Bove - Won Brooks Memphis Twilight XC Classic but hasn't run since. He could jump back in the rankings in a few weeks if he runs another big race.

On the Bubble: Athletes listed above who fell off the top 25 this week are also still considered on the bubble.
