More State Meet Info

Two web sites  have some good information regarding the races tomorrow:

TullyRunners has their usual State Meet predictions, based largely on the speed ratings.  And NY Milesplit has previews of all of the Boys and Girls races.

Section V could see some strong performances.  For the Boys, Section V seems to be stronger on the team side in Classes A and B, with R-H and Mendon looking solid while only Mickey Burke ranks in the top 12 in either race.  On the other hand, Classes C and D both have potential individual champs representing Section V in Jeff Antolos and Gabe Rodriguez, while the teams are expected to finish farther down the results list.

The highlight of the Section V Girls representatives seem to be the Class A individuals, with 4 of the top 14 speed ratings belonging to our area.  Last year the Sectional Team finished third, just five points behind Section 2.  There is a very good chance of improving that this year, especially since it appears Section 3 will not repeat their 1-2-3-4-6-7-12-13 performance of last year (the incredibly strong F-M top 7, plus Laura Leff).  The R-H girls team should be in a tight battle for 3rd, behind two of the top teams in the country (F-M and Saratoga).  Expect the HF-L girls to outperform their seventh-place projection in Class B.
