The Knights were featured in the new RunWV state cross country rankings. These rankings represent the results through the regional meets.
The Preston girls are still ranked No. 4 in Class AAA; the same as last week.
The Class AAA Girls top 10 team power rankings, in order from 1 through 10, include Morgantown, University, Cabell Midland, Preston, Parkersburg, Hurricane, St. Albans, John Marshall, Huntington and Woodrow Wilson.
There are five Lady Knight runners who are ranked in the top 50 of the individual rankings: Hallie Simmons (20th), Delilah Myers (T23rd), Ella White (26th), Autumn Myers (39th) and Ava Simmons (49h).
Hannah Liston (T77th) and Leighton Biermann (92nd) are also ranked.

Class AAA team boys rankings start with University at the top followed by Hurricane, Cabell Midland, Morgantown, Jefferson, Wheeling Park, Parkersburg, Bridgeport, George Washington and Woodrow Wilson.
The State Championship meet will be held at Cabell Midland High School on Saturday afternoon. The girls’ race will begin at 3 p.m. while the boys will run at 3:45.
The Preston Knights (1-7) are traveling to face the Buckhannon-Upshur Buccaneers (3-6) at 7 p.m. tonight.
The Knights will be looking to avenge last year’s 25-12 loss to the Bucs which had snapped a three-game winning streak against B-U. B-U leads the overall series 18-9, dating back to 1993.
The Bucs are coming off a 41-6 victory over winless Grafton, snapping a four-game losing streak in the process. This game will be B-U’s season finale.
