In D4 Boys, look for Aiden Dibble and Broen Holman of Sonora to go 1-2. Dibble ran 15:08 at Clovis and both tempoed a 15:42 on the very difficult Willow Hills course at their section meet.

Max Sannes is pretty good though. 14:48 at Mt. Sac. and beat Isaiah Givens.
Secondary goal: to remember to snag one of those free Newbury Park “4:20’s not fast” stickers they said they will be handing out at the meet after the d1 race.
Seriously, Good luck to all the athletes competing this weekend!
What team are you? We are in the same race. Good luck

I say that there is a 50%+ chance that Newbury goes 1,2,3,4.
Their 5th man (whoever that is) is improving, but will not come in 5th. I say that he does have a good chance to come top 10.

I looked up Max's profile. Very impressive improvement over last year! He was putting up very ordinary times as a freshman. Once again, great development of an athlete from the Big Bear program

Nice Prognostication!
Nordenholz in 16:46! I believe that is the 4th fastest all-time after Claudia Lane, Sarah Baxter and Julia Stamps. Williams also under 17 in 16:56.
kenan pala (d5 boys) breaks cooper teare's 14:59 meet record and wins state

Agree with your prediction. How good is the rest of Pala’s team? Are they contenders for the D5 title?
Francis Parker is strong, but not as good as LWHS 1-5. Santa Fe Christian was likely the best team in D5 and is still the strongest 1-4, but their #5 went down and they’ve lost about 45 seconds at that spot. I think that’s it for them and LWHS will win their first boys’ title.
Good prediction and congrats to the LW champion boys. NCS is dominating today.
Who hit their target?
Checking the splits in the Boys D2 race, what a closing mile by San Luis Obispo. They were 4th in the team race at 2 miles and won. Their top 5 guys moved up 23, 18, 9, 7 and 43 places respectively in the last mile! That's some clutch running.
Just curious - how do the rest of California's boys teams and individuals stack up vs. a normal year? NP still goes 1-2-3-4 almost any year, but does that 6 normally work out to be a 10 or a 12 or was the depth what it normally is?
Don't want to take anything away from NP as they are obviously GOATy, but the best team they've gone against this year is Great Oak, yes? GO looked to be just a tad better than Southlake Carroll, El Paso Eastwood, and Desert Vista at Woodbridge. I'm guessing GO may have had a pretty strong day on Saturday?
Those top four were within a second or two of the all time course record so that should tell you.
I'm more curious to see how many team runners are going to fit between their 4 and 5 at RunningLane. Will they score 16 points again? Or will it look more like a 1-2-5-10-30? Or somewhere in between?
GO was a bad litmus test for this as their 1 was behind Appleford.

In 2019, they would’ve gone 1,2,3,5,12.
2018: 1,2,3,4,9
2017: 1,2,3,4,7
2016: 1,2,3,4,8
2015: 1,2,3,5,13
*This 2015 race included NXN Champs Great Oak and # 3 at NXN Dana Hills. Also factored in team scores were Footlocker #2 Phillip Rocha (who lost to Drew Hunter) and NXN #5 Eduardo Herrera. Despite facing 2/3 of the top teams in the country and some of the best individuals in the nation (that still had team scores), they would’ve still only scored 24 points and had a team time 2:47 faster than the Great Oak team that dominated NXN by 49 points. The more you context/perspective you have, the more crazy their performance becomes. So we should probably stop now.

They won’t score 16… in other NXN races, they would’ve gone somewhere around 1,2,3,6, 18 as far as team scoring goes (just based on CA runners typical finish with comparable Woodward times). If good individuals are on teams, your places seem reasonable. If we’re doing an over/under of 48 points. I’ll take the under though. I’d say over my scenario of 30 points though… so somewhere between 30 and 48 :)
