Conor Lott and Tyler Dailiak both lowk got robbed from being in the invitational race. Lott arguably is on fire this season and did beat Cook at Lowell. Dailiak had a breakthrough track season and ran an 8:59 3200 at the state meet last season. Arguably both are the fastest returners in the Central Section this year.
I don’t think the chances of Holman, Bouie, Caldwell, or Turk earning an NxN bid will be ruined if they don’t race Clovis. Just look at Eli-Fitchen Young for example. He stayed lowkey and didn’t really race in many or any competitive races, but qualified after running 14:49 at state last season. I think they are more lenient on individuals than teams to be far.

Conor lot was 8th at portlalnd with a 182 speed rating. Tyler Dailak hasn't raced a competitive race yet so we don't know where he is at.
Zion Ortiz and Liam Miller should be thrown in the mix. Ortiz ran 15:07 at Woodward last season and recently ran 14:08 at Woodbridge and was 3rd at Cool Breeze. Miller ran that 14:02 at Woodbridge and was behind Kushen and ahead of Deledone at Cool Breeze.

It's just a watchlist. They will come out with the final list on the 7th
All the big California schools plus Crater Oregon slated to run next Saturday. Some top names not on the list. Holman, Caldwell, Bouie, Turk all no shows for top individuals with a chance ay NXN. Crater should win but hopefully a California team makes it close.
Not sure it's possible barring a miracle. Crater's Woodbridge team time was over 2 minutes better than every other CA team and almost 3 minutes better than the majority of the teams in this race.
Their first two runners are basically going to go 1, 2 or 1, 3 and then their other three runners are going to finish around the top runners of other teams. That's an insurmountable lead.
And they are six deep with their seventh runner still being able to disrupt some teams top five runners, so even a bad day for one of their runners wouldn't stop them.
Crater here is going to look even more dominant than Herriman at Woodbridge.

So no Crystal Springs, who won D5 2 years in a row

I don't think they signed up as I can't find them on the entrants list. I can't find them in the general list and they aren't on the watch list for the big race either.
Mira Costa #25…No Great Oak or MLK. I give Jesuit a chance to beat Crater but it is pretty unlikely but I also would not call it impossible. Healthy Great Oak will be good to see and hopefully MLK Buchanan Beckman will have bounce back races after struggling at woodbridge maybe upsetting Jesuit. Also Matilda Torres looks very strong plus Menlo should be interesting to see how everything stacks up.
