The Michigan Interscholastic Track Coaches Association in cooperation with MichianaTiming.com has computed power rankings based on total team strength. Week one is released on April 22, 2011 and each following week a new set of power rankings will be released and announced on MichiganTrackAndField.com.
Rankings are based on seed times (season bests) for the top three athletes in each event for each team who chooses to participate. Entries to the MITCA Team State Championship meet will in part be based upon weekly Power Rankings. The meets reported at the links below and the scores are imaginary based on season bests to date entered by coaches.

In your MITCA Power rankings I believe you have an incorrect time for Vicksburg Boys 4 x 200 relay team. They ran a 1:33.6 at The Paw Paw Lions Invitational last Saturday 4/16/11.

We don’t make up the times, the coach submits them — and they were due by a particular date. He may well have pre-entered. And as good as they are, perhaps he wanted to surprise people.
Anyway this week we’ll do it again — and we’ll break ties this week like we should have last week.
