The photo finish edges Leo Young ahead of Aaron Sahlman and Lex Young by a hundredth of a second. Brayden Seymour, Dev Doshi and Aaron Cantu round out the top 6. @NPHSXC@NPHSAthletichttps://t.co/HJslINRV7g
The 6th best time was 15:47 in the JV race (Blunt). That would have given him the 7th best time in the varsity race. 7th best was in Fr/So race 15:56 (Doshi), which would have been 9th (combined).

Why does the SS course start and end on a track and it looks like they are running on the side of a road? Is that the best they have for XC?
The setup they have lets spectators see like 90% of the race since it just goes around one of their school's roads and trails in loops. They've also been doing this course for like two decades at this point.
They do have plenty of trails near this particular school, so the ease of setup and takedown is valued over getting a tougher course.
So, Schohn beat Shetty. Dickran’s time was not far off but he was a different race. Dickran should be in mix fighting for a spot with those 2, not surprising since he had the fastest 1600 time of an 8th grader that ended up at NP. I think he ran a 4:41 as an 8th grader.
I also wonder if Adrian Cantu is going to np. He ran a 4:39 as a 7th grader
Div 4 girls state finals looks like it could be much closer than expected. Oaks Christian times from their finals match up pretty well with J Serra, although J Serra were probably taking it easy in their league finals. Upset potential?

Yeah I think Trabuco Hills and Ventura will be better than San Clemente next year. TH and Ventura will autoqualify and San Clemente will get 3rd in the merge and will get an at-large if an at-large does come from California.
Trabuco Hills returns 5 of their top 6. Ventura loses no scorers. Even though San Clemente returns more than Great Oak, Granada and Newbury Park, they still lose their #1, #3, and their sometimes 5 or 6. Their #1 placed 8th at Clovis so losing someone like that can hurt a team.
Well, the Mt. Sac results changes things. Not only did San Clemente's full squad crush it, but their returning 5 man team time was better than anyone else. What I came up with:
San Clemente: 78:11 Dana Hills: 79:39 Trabuco Hills: 80:01 (was missing #2 returner, could have been 50 seconds faster) Great Oak: 80:11 Millikan: 80:15 Yosemite: 80:33 Cathedral: 80:38 Crescenta Valley: 81:10
I might have missed some teams, I didn't do them all. Tried all the obvious suspects.
Millikan was a real surprise, because that team time does not even count some more sophomores at 17:02, 17:02, 17:15, 17:17, 17:22 and a freshman at 17:18. I didn't know they were that deep.
Speaking of next year, I think one team people will be surprised about next year is Buchanan boys. They may be losing 4 seniors, but you have to look who they return. 5 guys under 16:30 for 5k (2 of them being freshmen, and 1 of them being a sophomore), and also 2 more sub-17 guys.
Portola also returns a 16:10 5k average. They return every single one of their scorers.
Other contenders to be near that top spots in the state or could qualify for footlocker- Alex Lamoreaux(4:11 pb) and the Granada HS Boys team, ncs is pretty stacked this year.
