Close win at Great American for Assumption and tough competition in MI and UT

The Saucony Elite 50 refers to the top 50 teams in the country (25 boys and 25 girls).

It was a quiet week on the team front, but there were still a few fireworks on display.

Assumption (KY) girls made it known that they are a force to reckon with this year as they recorded an impressive win over Blacksburg (VA) at Great American this weekend by a narrow score of 95 to 96. As a result, they move into the #8 spot overall in the US. It was truly a great battle of two top 10 powers, but the race behind was equally great. Green Hope (NC) got the best of Saratoga Springs (NY) by finishing 3rd with 139 points to move to #16 in the US.

The girls of Rockford (MI) are also looking good, moving into the rankings for the first time after beating a great Saline (MI) squad at the Portage Invitational by a score of 62 to 84.  Also faring well this weekend were the girls of Davis (UT) who won the Westlake XC Classic over a good American Fork (UT) squad 34 to 82. 

Stay tuned each week as we bring you the Saucony Elite 50 Team Girls every Wednesday morning!
