way too early 2025 XC CIF HS predictions

could you make a top 10 teams for the Clovis twilight invitational coming up?

I don't get why Jesuit CA keeps getting overrated on ranking sites. Their clovis performance this year wasn't on same level as their state performance as last year. They were faster last year. The shouldn't be higher than 8th or 9th at nxn this year.

Beginning of the season still so times slow, and they beat herriman so it means something will be interesting to see improvement from now to then.

The hell is a Clovis South?

Campolindo won the Roughrider large school boys race. Vacaville 2nd, Cooper Stream individual winner 15:06. In a surprise turn of events, Menlo-Atherton in 3rd beating Matilda Torres

Campo: 15:17, 15:19 (sophomore btw), 15:35, 15:36, 15:40, 15:46, 16:00

Actually, in the boys large school race, it was Matilda Torres with 120 points, with Menlo-Atherton with 122. Both finished well behind Campolindo and Vacaville.

Many of us thought that Matilda Torres would be the #2 CA team this year based on last year. Problem is they have a large gap between their 4th and 5th runner. Because Matilda Torres lacks depth of other schools like Mira Costa, they need all 5 of their top returners to improve from last year and perform well when it counts. Unfortunately one of those guys (Ramirez) doesn’t seem to be much improved from last year, which is why they have a huge gap between their 4 and 5. Lots of time until the state meet though.

Campolindo's team time was 12 seconds slower than Woodbridge, but their placement was better. This race is usually speed rated, (if not I can use the Clovis scale), and I think when I do another hypo merge Campolindo will be the new #2.

Rough Rider small school race

Ponderosa - 70

Oakdale - 106

Not just that, Hunter Hannah (15:04 Woodward last season, usually always up with Ben Fernandez), has been running terribly recently. He’s now running within 15:30s - 15:50s

As an SJS guy, I can see Campolindo beating Jesuit in the merge this year. They already look better than most teams who raced at Clovis

Whatchya smoking?

Campo is good but Jesuit is great.

Jesuit recruits from outside school boundaries and got a transfer. They should be dqed from nxn for blatant cheating again.

Woodbridge wins the Orange County Championship by over 40 points

Trabuco Hills beat San Clemente

Jesuit entered all of their guys at granite bay but only 2 ran

1. bilodeau 9:12

2 Alberts 9:33

Note than bilodeau won

and there was a bunch on mid 9:10s

I think you've got to give Campolindo the 2nd spot overall now based on yesterday. If you put their Roughrider times into the Clovis results, they beat Woodbridge. And that's not even taking into consideration the difference in temperature.
