2024 California HS XC CIF

Define "hanging around".....Milesplit shows one sub 4:20, two in 4:20's and four in 4:30's for 1600; 3200 shows one 9:20, two in 9:30's, three in 9:40's for 2024 season. They are certainly a player in CA and will feel like they're in their own backyard at Woodbridge but those numbers aren't accurate.

Beckman recently got 2 really good transfers, in their most recent time trial (3 weeks ago) whole top 7 ran 9:34-9:35 with a one second gap

Yes, the Beckman Top 7 all ran a 9:35 full 2 mile during a time trial, including 2 new transfers, one who runs an already 2:00 and 4:25, and one who runs a 14:37 in XC, and freshman Ryan Barris made a large jump, running 15:30s during his XC season, to being a part of that 9:35 group. They weren't holding back but they certainly have more to give, and we are all definitely already in 4:20 and 9:20 shape as they are all improving and are in one pack consistently.

I keep hearing two, but I only know of the one from Foothill. As I look through last season's track results and this years XC results, I don't see any 4:20 miler (which was the description used before) unaccounted for. Unless 4:20 miler can mean up to 4:29. Of course, I only looked at the southern section, it could be from somewhere else.

No argument about them being a top player....careful with your words if you don't want to be identified as a Beckman runner....."They weren't holding back" and "we are definitely already in 4:20 and 9:20 shape" in the same sentence is a dead giveaway. All said, you guys are legit.

In the D2 southern section rankings, I think that Woodbridge should be ahead of Newbury Park. This would still put Newbury Park in 7th with means they will have a chance to get the last state spot from this section

If its 2:00/4:25, I think I know, so don't say it if it is the preference is to keep it quiet

Tell Ryan that Aidan says he's built

San Clemente sophmore here. Watch out for 2026 xc. right now we have 6 sophmores under 15:50. I think for NXN its gonna be us and Aayala.

Brown and lunetta are in the entries list for Woodbridge

Transfer going back is baffling, yet understandable.

Baffling because NPHS girls team aren’t gonna achieve anything this year. And she won’t have any training partners her level.

Understandable because sometimes it’s just hard to adjust to the new school and new culture and not see their former school friends in classes.

menlo pulled out of sweepstakes. anyone know if pretre is injured?

Westin Brown recently spotted in a boot again. Uncertain if he'll be ready for Woodbridge.

talked to Landon at Lowell, said his team wanted to race on Friday so they could go to Disney land on Saturday

Still think there are a couple teams in the sweeps that wouldn't even make top 3 in the rated race.

Is the Del Oro in the girls rated race the one from SJS?

Nahhhhhh it’s not them, it’s a Del Oro from Bakersfield. Del Oro (SJS) hasn’t been good since Riley Chamberlin’s senior year. The majority of the girls team from DO transferred to Whitney high. I do rememba the days when our team would go on runs with Del Oro since the DO coach is the son of the former head coach of our team.

Without him, Great Oak won’t make NXN or win state. Their next best guy looks to be on the same level as the top runners of Arnold Beckman, Jesuit, and Mira Costa (all have a tight 1-5+ pack), and as we saw at Cool Breeze, he is similar as ML King’s 2-5 (when you count Lunetta), and obviously Zavaleta is one of the best in the state.
