Minooka rises to 11 as NXN MW looms

By Adam Kopet for DyeStat

Two big weekends filled with state meets have brought a variety of upsets and interesting performances and new intrigue heading into NXN regional meets. So the rankings have been shaken up some, but the podium spots remain the same, but after that, there have been some significant changes.

NXN regional meets in the Midwest, which is stacked, Heartland and Northwest all appear to be wide open as some teams appear to be peaking while others might slip. No. 6 Edina and No. 10 Centerville OH are new to the top 10 after winning their state meets. Minooka IL races all the way up to 11 with their huge performance in Illinois and knocking off Naperville North. And Birmingham Seaholm rises to No. 16 after winning the Michigan D1 title by 46 points.

Desert Vista AZ (previously the No. 11 team) takes a tumble with its off day at the Arizona state meet, but on most days we'd still pick them against Chandler, which gets the No. 30 spot.
