Preseason cross country rankings

Last year’s state champions top the preseason cross country rankings while multiple ranked teams moved classifications in the offseason.

Brookwood tops the boys AAAAAA rankings after their fourth state title in five years while Flowery Branch tops the AAAAA poll. Marist tops the Class AAAA rankings while arch-rival St. Pius, which just moved up to AAAA, comes in at No. 2.

Westminster moved up to a depleted Class AAA and is ranked at the top there while Wesleyan is No. 1 in AA.

Northview moved from AAAAA to AAAAAA and is ranked No. 3 after winning thee state title last season. Peachtree Ridge retains its No. 1 ranking in the state’s largest classification.

Lakeside-Evans took over at No. 1 in AAAAA while Marist is No. 1 in AAAA followed by St. Pius.

Class AAA should have quite the dual this year between Blessed Trinity, which claimed No. 1 last year, and Westminster, which won AA last year.

Wesleyan is No. 1 in AA last after splitting the title with Westminster last year.

In the vacancy left by last year’s state champ, Pace Academy, Providence Christian ascended to No. 1.
