2024 California HS XC CIF

What are you talking about? There are only 3/32 which is much lower than usual for CA.

I would think someone like Landon Pretre would get in the top 32 based off of his big improvements in his 3200 (9:04-8:48) and his 14:52 at Clovis where he dropped Eyan Turk hard.

That’s a pretty bad list. I don’t think Holman’s and Fitchen-Young’s track performances indicate an increase in 10-15 places compared to their finishing places from last year? How did Pretre get massively snubbed from the top 15? Where is Maximo Zavaleta??? (Also, he’s not from CA but Owen Powell is also a heavy favorite and yet barely made the list?)

there are 10 different regions on average you can expect to have 3-4 runners on the list per region. I would say Manny Putz and Owen Powell are underrated on this list.

Westin Brown will definitely be up there. His team is at risk this year so he will likely need to work on getting an individual spot if he really wants to go to NXN (which he had to miss last year due to injury)

CIF boys state meet merge predictions:

1. Jesuit
2. ML King
3. JSerra
4. Arnold O. Beckman
5. Mira Costa
6. Great Oak
7. Buchanan
8. Tesoro
9. Hart
10. Woodbridge

Great Oak at 6th??? I don’t think that is an accurate statement

For me I go with -

1) Jesuit

2) ML King

3) Buchanan

4) Mira Costa

5) Arnold Beckman

6) Jserra

7) Great Oak

8) Hart

9) Tesoro

10) Redondo Union

Great Oak had a time trial last week and they have a strong top 3, but they need work on positions 4 and 5. If those 2 step up, Great Oak will be in contention again.

There are also teams in the state that have better returning 1600 and 3200 times than Great Oak.

I caught Trey Caldwell at the NCS MOC 3200. He ran what was a PR for him at that time, 9:06. He went out fast, running with Lucas Cohen and Olaf Dietz. He fell back from their pace, but held on for 3rd after a last-lap challenge from Malcolm Oakes.

One week later, he broke 9:00, running 8:53, a 16 second improvement. I expect big things from Trey this XC season.

These Jesuit boys need to calm down and stop trying to glaze themselves constantly on here.

* 13 second improvement
