The Cuthbertson (NC) girls are flying out as well which will be interesting. They had a tougher time winning than most would have expected at Friday Night Lights last weekend, which is the first big race for most schools in NC. Woodbridge should be a good test of where they are truly at against top teams. They had a runner step up to a new level in Josie Schihl so they might have another big 4 this year to carry them into NXN if Schihl can hold this performance level to offset losing the older Preisano sister.

Cuthbertson only beat Mount Tabor by 15 points. Looks like they need a 5th in order to be really good on a national level

Austin Vandegrift should be in the sweepstakes race
The Woodlands TX should probably be in the sweepstakes race too. They are a top 5 team in TX even though they graduated almost everyone from varsity. They always reload

Bethany was sick leading up to liberty bell but decided to get out there and do what she could, it happens to every great athlete and you can’t always control when it happens . It was one race early in September. People really should have all their info before passing judgements.

How are the Newbury Park girls in Sweepstakes? Do they have someone that hasn’t raced yet this season?

from looking at milesplit it doesnt look like their #1 from last year has raced yet, Tiffany Sax, and their #2 from last year Sophia Grant ran the opener but didn't run the last meet against Oaks Christian.

Sax transferred to Ventura. What you saw at Coolbreeze was their full varsity roster.
Grant might be a top 20 finisher. Beyond that, its bleak for their chances

gotcha. I thought that might be the case but then i saw another Sax for NP ran at cool breeze who i assume is related to her so i just figured she hadn't ran yet.

On the Woodbridge Invitational homepage:
--RunnerSpace will live-stream (entirely) each race.
On the runnerspace website it says:
The 2023 Woodbridge Cross Country Classic presented by ASICS will be broadcast live from Irvine, California on Friday and Saturday, September 15-16. The broadcast and on demand videos will require a RunnerSpace +PLUS account.To each his own, but I have a bad history with paying for live running events, so I won't be watching it. I will just follow it on the athleticlive website which has 1 and 2 mile splits, which is all that I really need.
Someone else might try to do it for free, maybe as simple as streaming a hand held device, but I doubt you will get good coverage.

Please read more carefully. You have two (well, now three) people saying that Michalak deserves her high rating, regardless of the last race, and acknowledging that she is fast as hell. No one is denying that talent!
Sheesh.
Now, tell us how she is going to shut down Buchanan and Flower Mound, that is what we want to hear about.00 -
Milesplit gives their preview on the Woodbridge Invitational starting 26:30.

Flower Mound is about to get smoked. That’s all I got to say…
Buchanan is going to be a whole other beast.
