2024 California HS XC CIF

Looking at the numbers, his Rough Rider performance wasn't 'crazy', it was speed rated at 184, which looks in line with his Woodbridge SR of 179, so not an off-race. If fact, many of the top runners have posted SRs more than 5 points higher than their Woodbridge time. He's a top Cal runner, but 6 Cal runners have gone 190+, and that doesn't include Noonan. He still has a chance at a state title though, because outside of Zavaleta (and Daillak is D1?}, I think D1 is not top heavy on individuals this year.

Clovis had better than usual weather. It also was speed rated 1 point less than last year's Clovis and state meet. From what what others had said on this board (who I assume were there), the weather at Rough Rider was even better.

And still 14:19 for 41st place at Woodbridge is nuts- he would’ve taken 3rd in rated with that time.

Daillak is D2 now- would say he is in contention for a state title, but not likely considering Kushen, Caldwell, and Stefanopolous are also in D2. I made a hypothetical all state rankings for divisions based on current 5k prs but also previous track prs- also threw in some wildcards in there (which may be off)

3b. Cooper McNee (Oaks Christian) (explanation: idk what happened to him at Clovis, but is usually always up with Yoder)

5. Callum McBride (Albany)- 15:31 (Clovis)

6a. Auge Martin (St. Francis)- 15:32 (Clovis)

6b. Max Douglass (Corona Del Mar)- 15:32 (could be higher since he did run a 15:19 last season, but recent performances have been eh)

9. Logan Letulle (Mira Monte)- 15:34 (Roughrider)

10. Bradley Arrey (Jserra)- 15:37 (Bob Firman) (Same thing as I said about Douglass, he’s also been sick recently)

D5

1a. Landon Pretre (Menlo)- 14:51 (Clovis)

1b. Eyan Turk (Woodcrest Christian)

1c. Ben Bouie (Crystal Springs Upland)

(I’m leaning more towards Pretre, but wouldn’t be surprised if Turk or Bouie won as well)

4. Olly O Connor (Viewpoint)- 15:14 (Clovis)

5. Ryan Fitzpatrick (Nueva)- 15:26 (Clovis)

6. Will Hauser (Menlo)- 15:27 (Clovis)

7. Theo Udelson Nee (Wildwood)- 15:28 (Clovis)

8. Henry Hauser (Menlo)- 15:33 (Clovis)

9. Tarik Baker (Crystal Springs Upland) (no explanation need)

10. Jared Saal (Menlo) (Explanation: part of that top 5 Menlo squad that went sub 15 at Woodbridge. Should be higher considering he did beat H. Hauser (I think), but was no where to be seen at Clovis)

Here comes the s**t storm that is about to ensue.

Your looking too much into times. The best metrics we have are from Woodbridge and Clovis. Whoever placed best in those races should be higher. Whoever avoids competition or somehow had a 'bad race' in a real race(not really though) should be lower.

Ben Bouie lost to Callum McBride, who ran 15:31 at Clovis, so I am not sure he is in the best shape right now.

It’s possible he isn’t in the best shape, but in the Roughrider interview Tarik and Ben claimed that they were holding back in order to save their energy for the races that really matter- 15:44 & 15:45 is holding back for them. So it’s possible they’re in solid shape and could get into peak shape once CCS and State comes around.

They did the same thing last year - won their race in 15:30ish and then dropped to 15:04 at the state meet.

Personally, I don't see the harm in going all-out a few times during the season, but they obviously know what they are doing over at CSU so I can't say anything.

Speaking of CSU, they are running a fast track 3200 tomorrow at Campo.

Results should be there, you can probably find the live result somewhere else.

Fast heat should have Ben Bouie, Tarik Baker, and Arrin Sagiraju. Expect a time under 9 if the conditions hold.

doubt

Sacred Heart Cathedral is also entered in this race, which means, Miles Cook will be racing too potentially

Correction- Josiah Bowman (Sage Creek) should move up to 1d. Bro blistered a 14:49 5k at Rose City Games in Oregon.

It's going to be like 80 degrees. Doubt they go fast

Are we not going to say anything about how Ben and Hunter said in the interview that they were only pacing the first two miles and then went hard last mile.

Hunter last mile 4:38

Ben last mile 4:44

Heat sheets for the 3200m meet at Campo are already posted. Cook, Bouie, Baker, and Sagiraju are all entered. Also the fastest heat is scheduled for just before 9pm when temperatures are forecast to dip below 60.

California has a strong tradition in cross-country, and many teams are likely contenders for NXN (Nike Cross Nationals) in 2024. In Northern California, you might want to keep an eye on schools like Davis High School and Menlo School, as they have consistently performed well in past seasons.
