The defending Class 4A girls soccer champs are gaining ground.
Lewis-Palmer jumped a spot to come in at No. 2 in the 4A CHSAANow.com girls soccer rankings. They sit only behind No. 1 Valor Christian, the team the Rangers beat in the title game last year.
They weren't the only one making their way up the poll, however. Windsor jumped two spots to land at No. 5 and Evergreen better their position by three spots, coming in at No. 7.
Rounding out the final set of girls rankings is Durango, the only newcomer in 4A.
Cherry Creek kept its grasp on the No. 1 spot in the 5A poll, but this week it's Mountain Vista sitting at No. 2.
Columbine jumped a couple of spots to land at No. 5, but it was Rocky Mountain with the big leap, gaining four spots to take the No. 6 position.
Legacy was the lone newcomer to the 5A poll, coming in at No. 7.
Jefferson Academy remains the top team in 3A, taking seven of nine first-place votes. The other two went to No. 2 Colorado Academy.
Overall, the top seven teams in the 3A rankings held their spots from last week.
There were no new teams in the 3A poll.
No one in 2A could unseat Denver Christian who held on to the No. 1 spot in the poll.
Front Range Christian jumped two spots to land at No. 3.
At No. 5, Telluride is the only new team in the 2A rankings.
