Top 10 returning California Teams
based on early outdoor track times 3/17/2024. I will give another
assessment update after 4/7/2024. only 2024 3200/1600 times used.
#10 - Jserra
Alden Morales - 4:10 (10)
Luke Friedl - 4:18 (10)
Bradley Arrey - 4:19 (11)
Zac O’Leary - 4:29 (9)
JD Ewing - 4:59 (10)
I get that they should probably be higher. But some of their guys only
run 800s, and I am not using that for 2024 XC predictions. Their number 5
is JD Ewing - 4:59, but their number 5 should technically be in the
4:20s.
#9 - Great Oak
Jack Paradise - 4:19 (11)
Jacob Brown - 4:21 (11)
Westin Brown 4:26 (11)
Marco Franco - 9:53 (10)
Carson Lynch - 9:57 (11)
I get that they barely raced. Westin Brown is coming back. They should move up quite a bit later on in the season.
#8 - Hart
Eli Ahten - 9:31 (11)
Alejandro Cueto - 4:27 (11)
Nicholas Zamora - 9:44 (10)
Josue Lopez - 9:44 (11)
Alireza Tofangdar - 4:31 (11)
Surprise team. Very good early track performances, but can they perform as well during cross country?
#7 - Tesoro
Griffin Kushen - 9:21 (11)
Ryan McNamara - 9:35 (11)
Chase Manning - 4:28 (10)
Parker Wolf 4:33 (11)
Ezra Bryden - 4:33 (11)
Interesting team. Solid for so far. We will see how much they improve
#6 - Millikan
Jack Brown - 9:27 (11)
Aiden Ransom - 4:22(10)
Maximiliano Ramirez - 9:40 (11)
Bryce Cobabe - 4:29 (10)
Brandon Garcia - 4:38 (9)
Young team with lots of talent. Lacks a clear front runner.
#5 Jesuit CA
Issac Abbot - 9:11 (10)
Drake Hoferer - 9:19 (10)
Matthew Ogilvie - 4:19 (9)
Lucas Alberts - 4:35 (9)
Navin Kadel - 4:36 (11)
Expect Jesuit CA to move up as their #4, #5 times improve in the later season.
#4 Buchanan
Luke Sanders - 4:14 (11)
Max Jauregui - 4:23 (11)
Michael Pritsky - 4:27 (10)
Jansen Geyer - 4:30 (10)
Deaglan Givan - 9:48 (11)
Seems to be stagnating on the track when compared to their XC results. Only time will tell.
#3 Mira Costa
Ian Hansen - 9:19 (11)
Isaac Faynsod - 9:33 (11)
Carson Ehman - 9:33 (10)
Krish Desai - 4:26 (10)
JT Kaplan - 4:32 (10)
Team that usually performs quite well on the track.
#2 Arnold Beckman
Christian Weber - 9:20 (10)
Mason Ngyuen - 4:20 (10)
Aaron Feaster - 4:20 (11)
Ryan Barris - 9:36 (9)
Brandon Boatman - 4:36 (9)
New team on the scene that has immense potential. Keep in mind that one of their top runners isn't show here.
#1 ML King
Maximo Zavaleta - 9:04 (10)
Brayden Lunetta - 4:18 (11)
Logan Carlson - 4:23 (10)
Bradley Quezanda - 4:24 (10)
Alex Wesołowski - 4:25 (11)
The returning team with the best track results is... ML King! 5th runner is at 4:25. This team needs depth though.
