Unofficial CIF state meet thread

We on this website were confused 7 years ago on the California power merge for NXN:

He will be facing chase pack from American Fork at NXN

Buchanan girls may have looked good on paper today, but never have I seen a faster team look worse down the homestretch. Almost every one of their girls staggered into the finish. It was very odd, like they all went to the well very, very deep.

Newbury would have beaten Los Altos if Brotcke finished ahead of Maya. Sad

The fact Clemente beat Great Oak earlier in the year a couple times gives them great reason for an at large bid. Granada did take a win over GO too but that's less likely to lead to a bid.

So when are they gonna post merged results after taking the top 16 teams?

My recollection is they’ve released results late Saturday night or sometime on Sunday. With new computer apps it should be done almost immediately

I hope this article is spot on saying they can see 4 teams coming out of California. 2 auto qualifiers and 2at-large qualifiers to move on to NXN.

Is Newbury going to NRX or Running Lane? Or both?

Los Altos' normal top runner also faltered a bit, losing to her younger sister who is usually 30 seconds back.

NRX? You mean NXN? NXN is on the same day as RunningLane

I think in 2019, the results were shown on milesplit before at-large bids were announced

I’m sure Brosnan would love to have him on his team. How likely is it that he goes to UCLA? I sure would love to see Martinez go there too.

Having a solid top 6 is even better than a solid top 5.

Since Shetty could not keep up with Cantu here, he will just need to give it his all at NXN.

their top 6 just need to stay healthy

Agreed. Top 5 for Great Oak all ran PBs today.

Perfect timing.

It should not be surprising that Great Oak did well here.

last year they got 7th at RunningLane. Only lost 3 guys. Also added Lennox who skipped XC last year, and Rodriguez stepped up.

Next year they will be a team to watch too. They will be better than Newbury Park for sure

They return the Rodriguez brothers, Keeney, and the Brown brothers. So they will have 2 sets of brothers on varsity

One person that should get credit is Isaac Abbott from Jesuit (freshman). They returned 4 guys and today he competed the scoring 5 for the team

How does Oakdale not get an at-large too? They had a team time 4 seconds faster than Granada. They should at least get an at-large too?!

If Oakdale closed the 4-5 gap, it would have made the merge even more interesting

If Oakdale is 5th in the merge they are not considered for an at large
