Some interesting things about the rankings here:

Minneapolis Washburn over Mounds View and Southwest? Well, this isn’t what happened at conference. But if Just races with Washburn’s #2 and #3 like he did at St Olaf and Griak, they might have a chance to make state this year.
Seems like Buffalo was too close to EP at conference to not receive votes.
Woodbury seems solid too.
Top 10 for teams looks good (though not in this order). I don’t see any other team sneaking in for now.
Individuals:
All 3 of the Wayzata guys are right where they should be, but 2 of them had their names spelled wrong.
Elliott’s name is spelled wrong here too.
If McArthur is in the top 10, Mechura (who was 5 seconds behind him at Alexandria) should at least be getting an honorable mention.
Mulrooney goes from the Rosemount jv-varsity cusp last year to getting second at conference and making the top 12 here.
Girls rankings:

Teams 2-4 are all in the same section. The section outcome is looking to be in that order also.
Prior Lake has nothing but freshmen and sophomores on the team. Could be state title/NXN berth contenders in a year or 2.
I know that the Worthington boys team likely won’t make state, but that shouldn’t leave them out. Yes I know this ranking would be filled with many section 2 teams if Worthington was on there.
Como Park should be ranked.
Mankato East should be #1. I think they can put 5 guys in front of Big Lake’s 3rd. Belle Plaine can too.
Big Lake actually barely beat Monticello last meet.
The 2 teams from 4a that didn’t make state last year are ranked 1st and 4th
