Long Beach Poly won the 1,600- and 3,200-meter relays in the Penn Relays on Saturday, but Compton Dominguez maintains its No. 1 ranking because the Dons still appear capable of outscoring the Jackrabbits in a meet featuring all of the top competitors in the Southland. Mission Viejo Trabuco Hills debuts in the rankings this season after finishing one point behind first-place Anaheim Esperanza in the Orange County championships.
