Bishop Guertin is quickly becoming a mecca for cross country runners. Not only are the boys nationally ranked and a heavy favorite to repeat as Class L champions this fall, but the girls have moved up to the second spot in the state in rankings compiled the the New Hampshire Cross Country newsletter.

The BG girls moved from third to second off the strength of its victory over top-ranked Manchester Central at the Saber Relays hosted by Souhegan High School.

Central moved from second to the top spot and Coe Brown Northwood Academy moved from sixth to third off its stunning victory over previous No. 1 Hanover at the Mount Washington/Great Glen Cross Country Invitational. Hanover dropped to fourth on the girls side.

Rounding out the girls top 10 were Merrimack Valley, Keene, Pinkerton Academy, Exeter, Hopkinton and Londonderry.

The boys top three stayed the same, with Bishop Guertin followed by Pinkerton Academy and Hanover. Nashua North made the biggest jump, from seventh to fifth, right behind No. 4 Concord.

Rounding out the boys top 10 were Coe-Brown, Londonderry, Merrimack, Central and Belmont.

Much could change after this Saturday’s annual Manchester Invitational.
