Thanks to Amador Valley HS coach, Jason Oswalt...the Distance Races

These are mostly based on the returning times, so probably won't be much different than anyone else's. Only differences would be in places where someone like Olson (after running 4:09 and 8:55) ran 1:57 in the 800, I put him higher in that event than a 1:57 guy would generally go. Things like that. Also, Nacouzi got some extra credit from me as she is clearly a different runner from cross than she was in track last year.
