I know what sets these apart from athletic.net is that I’ll write about kids and start to spin a tale. If I expend too much time this week, it’ll make regional projections and simulations unbearably difficult. If those are unbearably difficult, that’ll only bleed in to state week. And if that’s an issue, I’ll be cranky at MITCA, which is par for the course.
Week 3 (which has the best explanation)Week 4 Championship Season County Week
You may notice that some teams have fallen many spots. This is likely due to the injury rule, which states that if I haven’t had a rated race in a month, that runner is dropped from the rankings.
