MileSplit MS Varsity Girls XC Team Rankings: Edition No. 3

Yet, the winds of competition are stirring with the meteoric rise of St. Andrew's Lady Saints, who have catapulted to the No. 2 spot after a mind-blowing performance at the 2023 Simpson Academy Cross Country Invitational. The Lady Saints' formidable pack running and victory over several top-tier programs have set the stage for a potential upset in the rankings. They emerge as the only credible threat to the indomitable East Rankin Academy, a thrilling match-up anticipated at the 2023 Watson Cross Country Classic.

The top five are further adorned by the steadfast performances of Simpson Academy, Columbia Academy, and Tupelo High School, each holding their ground in the state rankings. The thrilling face-offs between Simpson and Columbia have been the talk of the season, while Tupelo's recent commendable victory at the Tupelo Invitational adds another feather to their cap.

Will East Rankin continue its reign, or will the Lady Saints of St. Andrew's dethrone the champions? The unfolding narrative promises an electrifying spectacle in the days to come, further enriching Mississippi's flourishing Cross Country presence in the South.
