Mt. SAC Sweepstakes Predictions

Girls:

LCC (small field is to their advantage)

Simi (first true test with Baxter)

Great Oak (solid, but lack of frontrunner hurts them)

Boys:

Trabuco (deep team that can afford an off race and still win)

Arcadia (some inconsistent performances from their #2 and 3 runners)

Rancho (the jury is still out in my opinion)

Not yet appearing among the Team Sweeps entries, current US#6 Xavier College Prep of Arizona will also be running.

If XCP is running then:1)LCC2)Simi3)XCP4)Great Oak

I saw them listed (along with Xavier Prep CA) in one of the sweepstakes tonight... I'm sure that's a mistake though, because Xavier Prep AZ would be Division 2 if not Division 1 in CA...

Guess you weren't looking at the D5 results, which only listed the Palm Desert Xavier Prep.

But it is hard to keep up when the entries don't agree with printed reports, as in Rich Gonzalez's saying that Sarah Baxter and Cami Chapus will be running tomorrow in the individual sweeps while the Mt. Sac entry page shows them in the team sweeps.

[quote]The first mile was covered in 5:32 with Baxter and Chapus side by side. As they moved into the switchbacks Baxter began to pull away from Chapus. On the way down the back side of the hills Fakler moved into 2nd place, close to Baxter. As they ascended poop out hill Baxter pulled away for good, going through the 2 mile in 11:31 with Fakler back at 11:38.

Rancho Cucamonga, DOMINATED! WOW

So check this out. XCP had their entire pack lagging the entire field in the first mile:

Yet they managed to finish 3rd against the best teams in CA with their 7th runner barely over 19:00:

That's what I call discipline!
