V boys:<br /><br />1. Redwood Christian - No one will even come close. Returning 6/7 runners after 5th place state finish. Josh MacDonald will win NCS individually as well.<br /><br />After that it gets tricky. Santa Rosa Christian returns 6/7, but their 3-5 runners need to improve. Marin Academy could be in the mix as well.<br /><br /> College Prep takes some big hits but their program is usually deep enough to fill voids easily.<br /><br />University is losing its entire varsity save for sophomore Ned Tennenbaum, who will be one of the individual front runners (after Josh MacDonald of course). However, they should never be counted out, simply because they have been so great every year.<br /><br />So that's division V. More to come soon.<br /><br />- Jacob Roth, Berean Christian High School <br /><br />(by the way we're graduating our entire varsity except me so I doubt we'll challenge for a team title).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-1935750365245714272009-04-22T10:02:00.000-07:002009-04-22T10:02:00.000-07:00Petaluma and Campolindo lose some of the best runn...Petaluma and Campolindo lose some of the best runners in NCS as part of their graduating seniors. However, both programs are well established and while they may take a dip next year, I am sure that they will still be competitive in Division III.Albert Caruanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434646351717864405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-5427923166110811622009-04-21T15:13:00.000-07:002009-04-21T15:13:00.000-07:00d3 boys will be good. i would look for carrillo to...d3 boys will be good. i would look for carrillo to come back stronger after a slight off year. i think las lomas could be very strong, it'll be interesting to see how they shape out during track and the summer. unfortunately, i pretty much only pay attention to d3... boys...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-61198766942717310882009-04-19T07:46:00.000-07:002009-04-19T07:46:00.000-07:00DIII boys should be interesting. petaluma and camp...DIII boys should be interesting. petaluma and campo graduating a bunch of top runners. both teams should both come back strong though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-26720670023674153332009-04-18T22:14:00.000-07:002009-04-18T22:14:00.000-07:00Casa Grande is more than Jacque Taylor.

While she is unquestionably their #1 runner, her teammates have joined her as a team at the XC state meet the past two years and have set her up for some victorious anchor legs during this current track season.Albert Caruanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434646351717864405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-23306652238210959392009-04-18T21:10:00.000-07:002009-04-18T21:10:00.000-07:00instead of casa grande, just put jacque taylor :Pinstead of casa grande, just put jacque taylor :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-44175439307289003432009-04-18T06:20:00.000-07:002009-04-18T06:20:00.000-07:00That is a very good start.

SRV is constantly improving; they could be a factor.<br /><br />Div. 2 Girls: <br />-College Park<br />-Carondelet<br />-Casa Grande<br /><br />Div. 3 Girls:<br />-Campolindo<br />-Las Lomas<br />-Maria Carrillo (quite a few graduating seniors)<br /><br />Div. 4 Girls:<br />-Piedmont (top 5 all back)<br />(I'm not sure about St. Mary's since I haven't heard about incoming freshmen that could replace the couple of seniors from this year's squad)<br />-Terra Linda<br /><br />Div. 5 Girls:<br />-Marin Academy<br />-College Prep<br />-San Francisco Univ HS<br />All of these three teams are only losing one senior each. <br /><br />Boys are harder to predict since the graduating seniors usually make up more than half the team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
