With most of the top teams taking the week off or breezing through conference or regional meets, there are very few changes in the MileSplit team rankings for this week. The boys rankings are nearly identical, while three girls teams jumped a few spots based on strong performances. Mountain Brook bounced back with a win at the Chile Pepper Festival, Lincoln-Sudbury won the Brown Invitational in convincing fashion, while Tatnall backed up its runner-up finish at Manhattan with a strong performance, highlighted by three girls breaking 18 minutes at Bellevue. State meets in Colorado and Utah, as well as Mt. Sac, should shake things up a bit in the coming week.
