Summary: Homewood-Flossmoor has taken over the #1 spot post Power Weekend. The Vikings' depth is anchored by a dominant sprint corps, and now the jumps are led by class leader Anthony Edison Jr in the triple jump. The Vikings still have more potential as a team.

Belleville West moved down one spot, but don't snooze on the Maroons as they have several top-tier athletes. 

Neuqua Valley moved up the rankings in large part due to the exploits of senior Daniel Robinson (IL#1 60m) at the Coliseum. Jesse Gudauskas, in the distance events, provides great support.

Has "Field Event U" returned to Roselle? Lake Park remains the gold standard for field events. They moved up in the rankings due to their strong pedigree in the field. Lincoln-Way West debuts in the rankings, completing the top five with a relays approach. The Warriors also have some individual depth on the rise.
