Jesuit has 3 star freshmen returning this year in Hallie DeVore, Makenna Schumacher, and Libby Rinck. Sunset lost 3 of their top 5. It will be difficult for Sunset to reach the same level they got to last year without Nicole Griffiths and the Huelskamps.

Looking at last year's results, gotta agree, Jesuit is definitely looking like the favorite here. Sunset clear for second I'd say. It pains me to see Beaverton do so horribly.

Yeah, Beaverton used to be pretty good but they just aren't anymore. Losing Erin Gregoire really hurt on the girls side.

I'm especially sad about the state of BHS running on the guy's side. 2010 was lit

Wow Westview is looking really good on athletic.net right now!! Will they edge out Aloha/Southridge/Beaverton to go to state? My heart says yes, but my head says no.

Well all results aren't up on athletic.net yet, but how did all the meets go?

Meet times are up.

Jesuit squad looking lethal this year on both sides. Aloha not quite up to usual standards, but still seems very strong especially on the men's side. Sunset holding its own, despite graduating some major talent last year. And Westview girls - WOW is all I can say.

I think Jesuit boys will win it all

BIG UPSET TONIGHT!!! Aloha smashes Southridge in both genders! Warriors are moving up the ranks tonight...

Also, Century ran ridiculously well against Westview and Beaverton compared to expectations. Look for them to have a distance running renaissance the next 3-5 years.

No other performances of note tonight as far as I can tell.

Any predictions for the last dual meet?

I'm most interested in the Jesuit meet. It will be good to see Sunset and Jesuit going hard against each other. I'm guessing that Andy Muha and Ember Stratton win the races, but Jesuit wins overall in the men's and women's races. Westview will probably have a few of their top individuals in the mix (Nathan Willins has looked really good this season) but will never really be in contention to beat either of their competitors.

None of the other meets seem especially interesting. Aloha and Southridge won't have any good competition, and no other teams racing seem competitive in the league right now. Maybe some individuals from Glencoe, Beaverton, Century, Liberty will seize the chance to make a big statement and intimidate some of the other Runners who are hoping to make it to state on an individual qualifier.

Unless Joshua Schumacher is back and near full strength, I think Sunset wins the boys race in the dual, though Jesuit will sweep the team titles next week.

Off topic, but it should be interesting to see what happens in the Metro league next year with Beaverton's new school & redrawn boundaries.

Are there any old metro league results available online from the 1970s and 1980s? A lot of history there I wouldn't mind revisiting. I'm trying to remember what schools were in the league back then.

Gonna call it right now. Stephen Gapay from Glencoe is gonna PR big and run 16:20 and then PR again next week, running a 16:17 and clinching that final state spot.

1970s yeah baby wrote:

In the 1970s, the Metro League was comprised of Aloha, Beaverton, Sunset, Hillsboro, Jesuit, Central Catholic, Parkrose and David Douglas.

The Jesuit/Sunset/Westview meet cleared up a lot of things I was unsure on. Should be a fairly prredictable meet.

Well, results are up!! My predictions were decently close.Here are results:http://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/Results/Meet.aspx?Meet=117095#224Impressed with Jesuit Men.
