2.Lane
3.NCP
4.WY
5.Mather
6.LP
7.Curie
8.Brooks
9.Payton
10.Lakeview

[Seriously?]

Wow this a dumbass ranking! Rethink these ranks!

[^]

^so what's wrong with them? How do you think they should go?

[.]

Brooks&Payton.???? 8&9 the fuck how.?? payton lost all talent ..brooks just straight up wont place intop 10

[Ok genius]

@Seriously?, if they are so dumb why don't you give your most "precise list". If you can't think of one then stfu and enjoy.

[My list]

I am only going to do top 6 because I don't know much about the other programs.

1.Jones
2.Lane
3.Mather
4.NCP
5.WY
6.LP

[Go CPS]

I think 4th is really up for grabs this year. Even third could be with as weak as wy frosh soph looked in track- but I assume they will get some good freshmen from their middle school program so I'd still rank them 3rd.

This will be a very good year for a second tier program to make a jump to the front group much like jones did a few years ago. I'd look out for some emerging neighborhood schools like curie or steinmetz. I think it will be a tough year for Mather - losing haji and negash not to mention devinney.

Should be interesting- any team putting in those quality summer miles could make a statement- tho it's hard to see anyone touching jones or Lane next year

[Top 10]

1.Jones
2.Lane Tech

6.Curie
7.Lp
8.Hubbard
9.Lakeview
10.Payton

[South Side on the rise]

South side schools like Curie,Hubbard,Kennedy,Steinmetz.Can get into that top 7 finish at city with good quality miles in the summer and healthy varsity teams. Look for one or two of this schools to make a jump at city

[Not south]

...Steinmetz is WAY up north...

[we will see]

Can't wait for season too start to see the out come. It will be Jones then lane. But anyone can take the 3 spot up

[wow.payton 8th]

You ranked Payton in 8th.?? look at theire team right now with 2 meets already done

[cps]

8. Payton
9. Brooks
10. Hubbard
11. Lake View
12. Kennedy
13. Von Steuben
14. Kenwood
15. Steinmetz

As bad as Payton is they are better than all the teams ranked below them in the pre-season with the exception of Hubbard and maybe Kennedy. Current rankings should look like this:

1. Jones
2. Lane
3. Whitney Young
4. Curie
5. Mather
6. Northside
7. Hubbard
8. Lincoln Park
9. Payton
10. ?

[Legit]

Maybe but anything can happen

[Top 10]

1. Jones
2. Lane Tech
3. Curie
4. Northside
5. Whitney Young
6. Lincoln Park
7. Mather
8. Kenwood
9. Hubbard
10. Lake View

[WY Fan]

No way is Curie and Northside ahead of WY. Curie isn't deep enough and Northside isn't even in the same league as the others.

[These nuts]

Kenwood there are crap? Haven't heard anything from them!
How's lincoln park?

[weak]

rankings don't mean anything. who cares if you're ranked 6th or 10th, nobody's even going to remember you unless you're #1. and even that's only proven at the end of the season.
