The most notable dip came in Class 2A, where Minnehaha Academy fell from No. 2 to No. 10. Rochester Lourdes and New London-Spicer were the biggest beneficiaries. They both moved up three spots. The Eagles moved up to third and the Wildcats climbed to fifth.
MACCRAY moved fown from No. 3 to No. 9 in Class 1A and Lakeville North dropped from a tie for third to No. 8 in Class 4A.
There are six new teams to the rankings: Elk River (No. 10 in 4A), Totino-Grace (No. 7 in 3A), Northfield (No. 9 in 3A), Caledonia and Red Wing (tied for No. 6 in 2A) and Proctor (No. 8 in 2A).
