Now Menlo-Atherton is… an interesting pick for the watchlist, I mean they have a solid 3 but that’s about it. It’s enough to qualify for states and maybe win CCS tho

^ In division 1

Branson isnt close to being a contender (girls team I presume, boys arent even less close)

their 1-3 is ELITE but 4-5 really weigh them down

but they are a small school so there isnt much you can do

Alijah Murillo of Branham just ran 13:51 in the first meet of the season on Montgomery hill- kids going to be a problem

Him and Daniel Cheyer could be a one two punch at state

Looks like Abbott isn’t racing Kim Duyst tn due to being on a Boulder tour

In other news, Ed Sias! Saint Mary’s College beat Campolindo (and they will beat Jserra at state), and the winner of the small school race is soph Campo star Caden Ehrhorn who seems to be their lowstick atm. Also Willow Glen has also beaten Campolindo (I believe they were missing Clark Gregory)

1. SMC
2. Willow Glen
3. Campolindo

Love your enthusiasm for SMC but you really think based on these results they will take down Jserra? Don't know a thing about this Ed Sias course but even if moderately hilly a 10:37 avg for 2 miles w/ a 44 second spread could be a premature tooting of the horn. Jserra had a 9 second spread at PR City through 2 miles with 4 guys between 9:40-9:41 and their #5 at 9:49. It was flat but also their season open.

The Ed Sias course is moderately hilly, and then with about 600 to go has a 100 meter hill that is about 45 degrees. This course has been around forever. Not sure SMC is better than J Serra, or even better than Bishop O’Dowd in their own division in NCS, but it was a pretty good performance. The surprise was probably Campolindo. One last item, I never take much from this race, as it is 2 miles, and the hill eats people up.

How good is Bishop O’Dowd this season? I mean, I only know of Sebastian Taylor and James Prater but that’s about where my knowledge on O’Dowd goes

Jesuit, M. Torres and Vacaville are going at it right now in Ceres, Ca.

This is better for live results. Looks like Vacaville is not running full team.

Andres Lomeli 14:38 5k at Kim Duyst. Kyle Jakary 14:52 (all the more impressive considering Jakary has been sick and barely recovered). Benjamin Fernandez 14:54

Cooper Barr of Placer broke the 5k school record by 2 seconds in 15:25. The 5k record was set at Woodward park in the early 2000s by Stuart Eastman in State Champion fashion… could the school Woodward park record also go down this season?

Hoferer DNF’d I’m pretty sure

Maybe but this course is incredibly fast. The winner last year never ran a faster 5k the rest of the year including two cracks at Woodward Park. I don’t think it very apples to apples.

Looks like they ran most of their boys in varsity large school and not invitational???

No. He was their 7th man tonight.
