Lots of movement and many newcomers highlight our individual rankings since they were last published, September 17. Despite the juggling, most of the top ranked runners in each region remained the same, with the exception of the top girls' spots in the Northeast and South Regions. Ashley Brasovan takes over number one in the south after her electrifying 16:46 in the flrunners.com 9, while a 17:44 (third all-time at Holmdel) propels Chelsea Ley to the top spot in the Northeast. Expect more clarity in the coming weeks with several big meets on tap for this weekend, including a showdown at the Great American XC Festival, where FL champs Brasovan and Kathy Kroeger will take on a strong field of elite runners. Meanwhile, many of the top northeast teams will meet at Van Cortlandt Park (NY) for the Manhattan College Invitational. (Editor's Note: Individual Rankings will be published on a bi-weekly basis through the end of the season.)
