Section V Preview - Class D

OK, on to the little schools.  This is the toughest for me to analyze, since we don't really race any of these schools.

Girls D

The current state rankings include the following Section V schools: #4-Geneseo; #5-Oakfield-Alabama; #8-Red Creek; #12-Campbell-Savona (Honeoye was 13th last week), so I focused my attention on those schools (plus Addison), and it looks like we could see the results shake out like this:

1. Geneseo 89
2. Oakfield-Alabama 114
3. Red Creek 119
4. Campbell-Savona 180
5. Honeoye 201
6. Addison  285

So, it looks like it really comes down to a three-team race, with Geneseo having the edge.  It should be close.  Note - Pavilion is Class D, so this comment belongs here, not in the Class C outlook: Pavilion never found a fifth girl, so they will not factor in the team results.

The individuals that could be in the running for a spot at the State meet:

1. Liz Valento Pavilion 
2. Sarah Coon Red Jacket 
3. Jeanette Schramm Harley-Allendale 
4. Heather Yuhnke Pavilion 
5. Megan Bouton Campbell-Savona 
6. Raylene Wade Red Creek 
7. Brenna Lyons Addison 
8. Anna Warner Notre Dame-Bat 
9. Erin Schiano Keshequa 
10. Casey Emerson Geneseo 
11. Jordan Prescott Pavilion 
12. Brianna Horn Geneseo 
13. Ashley Covel Oakfield-Alabama 
14. Lindsay Ryan Geneseo 
15. Jenny Crossen Oakfield-Alabama 
16. Faith McDonald Red Creek 
17. Allyson Fenton Clyde-Savannah 
18. Anna Phillips Avon

Boys D

This team race has the potential to be the most exciting of the day.  As with the Class D girls, there are 5 teams in the current state ranking list: #6-Geneseo; #7-Batavia-Notre Dame; #8-Oakfield-Alabama; #9-Campbell-Savona and #14-Addison.  So, four teams that are right in a row in the state rankings, plus a team that beat the fourth team by one point at their County Championships last Friday.  Taking into account the information that I could dig up, my best guess scrambles those rankings a bit, although Geneseo retains a slight edge.  Here's how I see it:

1. Geneseo 107
2. Campbell-Savona 118
3. Addison 123
4. Notre Dame-Batavia 155
5. Oakfield-Alabama 187

With the number of schools in this race, these scores can change dramatically.  Although Harley's fourth and fifth kids are back a bit, with 3 runners in the list below, they could be a factor.

Here are the top 22 individuals, according to Tully, with the top 3 being well ahead of the pack (and spaced somewhat themselves):

1. Gabe Rodriguez Geneseo 
2. Jeff Antolos Notre Dame-Bat 
3. Devon Rodriguez Geneseo 
4. Jon Pearl Campbell-Savona 
5. Thomas Abbey Addison 
6. Ethan Richardson Pavilion 
7. Connor George Oakfield-Alabama 
8. Gabe Bender Oakfield-Alabama 
9. Everett Geiger Caledonia Mumford 
10. Andrew Fischer Notre Dame-Bat 
11. Mitch Cicero Perry 
12. Gaylen Snyder Avon 
13. Ben Ivie Wheatland Chili 
14. Jon Chapin Canisteo-Greenwood 
15. Russell Hegedorn Harley Allendale 
16. Alex Hall Caledonia Mumford 
17. Matt Gibney Lima Christian 
18. Mike Verstraete Marion 
19. Arron Carlson Notre Dame-Bat 
20. Aamir Zain Harley Allendale 
21. Duncan Phillips Harley Allendale 
22. Seth Burton Addison
