We are giving away NXN spots on September 2nd?
No we are not. I’m just saying it’s pretty obvious of who makes NXN.
Newbury Park, great oak and Granada will be hard to beat by any other team. And all 3 are some of the best teams in the nation so whoever gets third gets an at-large.
It’s obvious that Buchanan is the best team in the region on the girls side because they lost no one. And got second at nationals.
Great Oak lost nobody either.
When I looked at the merged state meet results I was surprised that both Granite Bay and Campolindo were ahead of Great Oak and all 3 of these teams return all scorers. But then I realized that Great oak was missing someone from the state meet.
I do think that it’s hard to think that Newbury Park girls team is better than Granite bay and campolindo because of how much Newbury park lost.
Also, people forget that great oak’s Nathan Lennox (the guy who ran a 15:27 5K in 2020 and was also the best nonsenior that year) returned to the team. He did not run last year but this year at the time trial he was their #3 guy.
So the 3 spots that were left after people graduated were filled in very nicely.Granite Bay got 3rd at the Oakmont Invitational. They were missing a scorer but so was everyone else.

Yeah we can assume that Torrey pines is out of the picture now.
Santiago Corona was only 2 points behind Great Oak at cool breeze and Le Canada and Torrey Pines weren’t far behind either.
Sophia grant from Newbury won the varsity race which might tell me that she could be up there with Hawkins and Sax, or at least not far behind them. They also have Brotcke who ran in the low 5s in the 1600 which showed improvement from her.
Haven’t seen track results from Spaulding but if she stays with their #4, Newbury should win state again.00 -
Wow Santiago corona could have been really good if they had a #5
00 -
Also their top 4 were 10-10-12-9
their trio will be insane next year and the year after that

I remember hearing Tanya saying that np has 3 sub-5 girls.
Hawkins, Sax, but who else broke 5?
00 -
Ventura ran their opener
missing some guys like Fasthorse
00 -
Also in the girls race Sadie dominates, Ventura’s 1-4 are sophomores and under. Only 1 junior and no seniors in top 7

boys rankings: Clovis should be 5th.
girls rankings: Santiago corona was really close to great oak but they are not even on this list? Hm
00 -
Not sure why we are still doing preseason rankings on 9/7? Most teams have run multiple races and those aren’t factored in.

And San Clemente lost to 2 unranked teams (Trabuco hills and Redondo union). I think Trabuco hills should really be on there. They are also a really young team that has a shot at NXN next year when NP will be down and Great Oak loses a lot

I think Newbury park runs their varsity this meet, or at least they did last year

Dev Doshi beats Aaron Sahlman, and behind the Youngs by only 11 seconds.
No showing of Hector Martinez or Samantha Spaulding
Schohn ran the 7th fastest time. My, the competition for the 7th spot is getting intense if Hector doesn’t come back! Porter was like a minute behind Schohn. Dickran #1 freshman. Watson #1 soph but 3 9th graders were better than him. Schohn’s 3 mile was only 18 seconds slower than Cantu’s.
Only 1 senior on np JV and he didn’t start.10 -

Only 1 senior on np JV and he didn’t start.The NP top five look set with L & L, Doshi, AS, and Seymour, though not necessarily in that order. Cantu should be #6 but the youngsters can possibly close the gap so there will be competition for 6th and 7th.

The competition for the 7th spot seems to happen every year at np.
Without Samantha Spaulding, the 4-5 gap on the girls side is huge

Oaks Christian looking about same strength as last year. Definite podium in Div 4 state if they hold on.
Godsey went to another level, and their top 3 overall is strong. Still missing a 4th/5th though to be a title contender for state.

5 Sloan 16:25
6 Bernardino 16:28
12 Shearer 17:37
43 Sax 19:46don’t forget that a 4:39 1600 guy (younger Cantu) might go there. Also Zasloff who ran a sub-5 who is still in middle school
Girls freshmen
6 grant (varsity) 18:49
Rest were JV
12 Markowitz 22:51
17 maturo 23:09

Eh, 4:45->16:0x is a pretty standard improvement. The impressive thing would be if that was a tempo effort for him like it was for NP’s top 6.
