Section 6AA Championships 
 
 Not only are Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, Minnetonka, and Wayzata in the Lake Conference, but all five are part of the sixteen teams that make up Section 6AA. The top two teams at section meets advance to the MSHSL State Cross Country Meet. Entering the Section 6AA Meet on October 23rd, Wayzata still remained ranked number one, with Hopkins up to second, Edina ranked fourth, Eden Prairie ranked sixth, and Minnetonka still unranked. The Lake Conference members had five of the top twelve in the coaches’ poll entering the section meet (Class AA Boys XC Coach's Rankings for October 20, 2014.) The 2014 Section 6AA cross country champion would be the number one team in the state, Wayzata. Wayzata dominated the meet winning by thirty-one points over Hopkins who also advanced the state meet by finishing second over Edina by only eight points. Eden Prairie finished in fifth position and Minnetonka finished sixth. Individually, Edina advanced four of their seven boys’ runners to the state meet. Number two ranked Joe Klecker of Hopkins defeated number one rated Connor Olson of Wayzata by only six seconds. Both will be contending to win the state title next week (MSHSL Section 6AA Championships- Varsity Boys.)
