No surprise at the top as Wayzata showed its depth on Saturday, winning the St Olaf HS Showcase.
The first two weeks of race results have come in and coaches across the state have had a chance to begin evaluating race performances. There was no change at the top but the middle to bottom of the top 12 saw some shakeups after an interesting start the season.
