Unbeaten Longmont has risen to the top of the Class 4A volleyball coaches poll this week.
Longmont, 18-0 this season, was No. 2 last week and moved up when former No. 1 Cheyenne Mountain lost to Lewis-Palmer last week.
Lewis-Palmer moved up from third to second this week — but is just two points behind Longmont. Both schools received four first-place votes.
Neither the 4A or 5A poll added a new team this week, but Cherokee Trail did go from tenth to fifth in 5A.
Middle Park (No. 9) and Roaring Fork (No. 10) joined the 3A ranking this week, while C.S. School (No. 7) and Springfield (No. 7) joined 2A. Flagler was the lone new addition to 1A, at tenth.
Complete rankings for all classes are below.
