Comments: Despite having the head to head victory over Brentsville from Great American in September, Blacksburg drops to #2 behind the defending champs heading into the state meet. Both teams had very dominating state meet performances as they had nearly identical time averages, but Brentsville posted their time on a slightly slower course at Panorama Farms. Both also won by wide margins with Brentsville 73 point winners and Blacksburg 63 point winners. The battle between Region II and III teams will be waged much further past these two teams as the top seven ranked AA teams come from the two regions.

AA Girls Individuals
Comments: White ranked #1 is a no brainer as the two-time state cross country champion won by 45 seconds at her regional meet by a 45 second margin over current #3 ranked runner Homer. The real question is who is the second best runner in the AA. Brentsville\'s Stewart has the title now with the #2 ranking after winning the Region II Meet. Watch out for fellow regional champions Anastasia Abid from Region I and Maggie Graham from Region IV as they have made late season surges and gone unnoticed having not gone head to head with the deeper Region II and Region IV runners.
