Cream of the Crop Boys Teams
Comments: Is it the return of AA dominance from 2001 or at least being competitive with AAA? 2 of the top three ranked cream of the crop boys teams are from Group AA with #2 Brentsville and #3 Jamestown as well as Western Albemarle ranked at #8. Midlothian still sits comfortably at #1. West Springfield takes a big drop from being ranked #9 in the Southeast to #9 in the state as possible fifth man concerns caused the drop heading into the state meet.

Cream of the Crop Boys Individuals
Comments: Mike Spooner continues his #1 ranking with Griff Graves at #2 looking to put up a strong performance to match Spooner in this weekend\'s AA race. Adam Henken at #3 and Jason Witt at #4 probably are the best bets to be spoilers for the top two ranked runners.
