The narrative:
Eureka stands strong at the top of the rankings, their performances thus far have been. Speedsters Aden Sears, Micah Senior, and their relays are looking the part.
The Flyers have woken up, East St Louis flew up to the number two spot behind their traditionally strong relays and senior Devontae Ford in the hurdles.
Mascoutah is still in the mix, the Metro-East team relays are dynamite as is the dangerous Alabama track signee Barry Evans.
Urbana led by a rising Jeremiah Hamilton in the sprints and Burlington Central with Jake Borman in the throws round out the top five. Several teams outside the top five have pieces to make a move up in the rankings, stay tuned.
