⏱️? | The biggest battle for NKY Region supremacy is in 3A this season, as Dixie Heights and Campbell Co. look to dethrone '24 champ Notre Dame. The Colonels finished best last year among all with a ninth place at state.

The NKY 1A title again runs through Bishop Brossart, last year's Region champs, and runner-up Beechwood. The teams reversed order in Lexington as the Tigers grabbed the crown at State.

2A is almost surely a lock for defending Region and State Champ Lexington Catholic. 

A single NKY all-class ranking is included below. 

? The season's first team rankings are based on returning athletes' best performances from 2024.^

Will update in this thread as the season progresses. I hope to be at UK for the three state meet days in late May. Looking forward to another great season; good luck to all!
