Peter Dorrell recently was ranked among the top 10 best runners in the country by MileSplit US national editor Scott Bush in his Footlocker Power Rankings. The Blacksburg senior was the only newcomer in the top 10 as his victory at the Maymont Festival over an outstanding field of individuals two weeks ago helped earn him the high national ranking. Meanwhile, returning Foot Locker National runner-up Aurora Scott remains in the top 10 in the #8 position after another week idle from racing.
