Boys Rankings

 

The US#1 slot continues to be held by Edward Cheserek (St. Benedict's Prep, NJ).  Cheserek is quickly becoming a HS XC legend as he set his third course record in as many weeks.  On an atypically hot October day he shattered Joe Rosa's Vanny (NY) course record with a time of 11:55.4 for the 4000 meter layout at the Manhattan Invite.  Jake Leingang (ND) continues his midwestern tear as he moves into US#5 with a 15:50 clocking to win by 50 seconds, which is becoming a standard margin of victory for Jake.  CJ Albertson (CA) won impressively at the Asics Clovis Invite as Bryan Guijarro (CA) moved in at US#14 as a result of upsetting Dallin Farnsworth at Clovis.  Josh Brickell (GA) makes his first appearance in the rankings with an impressive string of performances.  Josh won the flrunners.com invite with a time of 15:02 and then ran 14:59 last weekend as the Asics Invite back home in GA.  Also making the list for the first time of the year is Connor Rog (CT) who blasted a 15:41 to win the Wickham Invite in CT.  Full updates on each athletes recent accomplishments are below.  Be sure to click on each athletes name to see times, articles, photos and interviews of each athlete if available.
