You will get a more detailed version of the following rankings with the meet program at NCS this Saturday. What I will post is my team predictions going into Saturday's meet. I have to say that this year was a much more difficult process than last year as some of the divisions are extremely competitive and multiple (4-8) teams are in the mix for NCS titles and state meet berths.
Best of luck to all individuals and teams. As always, these are just my best estimates based on what has happened so far this season and in the end the results will be determined at the races.

wow - it would be weird symmetry if Div III boys & girls actually finished in the exact same order - it almost looks like a cut and paste mistake if not for a switch in #5 teams
I didn't realize that I picked the same order for Div. III 1-4 for the boys and girls until you pointed it out. It wasn't intentional.
I feel a little stronger about my girls' predictions. I wouldn't be surprised if either the Campo, MC, Acalanes or Las Lomas boys win the team title on Saturday.
Should be a great race.
The links under the map for the news stories are identical (they go to the same article).
Thanks for catching that.
Fixed now.
Interesting how Attarian cant seem to get much respect in the polls when he will probably dominate everyone at NCS. Shows what the polls know.
I think people in the NCS know what James Attarian will do. He has a great shot at the state title! And has proved himself as the fastest male in NCS. He is a stud.
Which Div V Boys teams would you consider to be sixth and seventh?
Based on how teams ran at their league finals, there are a few teams that are right on the cusp of qualifying for state. First, watch our for Rincon Valley Christian. After them you have St. Vincent, Marin Academy, Stuart Hall and Crystal Springs Uplands.
what do you think Tamalpais's chances are for making state as a team in Division III?
I believe Tamalpais is the 5th best team right now. The teams trailing them are Redwood HS and Eureka. Eureka ran unbelievable last year at the NCS meet so they are always a contender. As I have said earlier, you have Campo, Maria Carrillo, Acalanes and Las Lomas in the first four spots. Any of those teams could conceivably win the NCS title. Tam will need one of those teams to drop and then yes, they would have a shot.
What about Santa Rosa Christian in D5 boys
If I had to name the next team following the last four teams I mentioned, that would be Santa Rosa Christian. They are all very close.
I noticed that St. Vincents did is not on the entries list
Good catch. I don't see them either. I am not sure of the reason.
According to a source at the NCS office, 3 teams did not submit in time for the deadline, St. Vincent's was one of them.
Granada really stepped up today, I'm impressed.
Very nice job for them moving up to 3rd and of course nice job for MV for winning the tough Div. I race.
I will have more posted tonight and tomorrow.
Albert, your predictions for DIII Boys are amazing -- you pretty much called it 1 - 7!!!
The first four teams were SO close that I had to just pick and stop trying to dissect the field after a while. I did pick Acalanes for 3rd and Las Lomas for 4th which turned out to be LL and then Acalanes.
It was a very competitive race as many figured out beforehand.
I was surprised that D1 Boys wasn't closer...
amador's #2 runner is on suspension. and mv guys ran amazing today. thats why the 25 point gap from av to mv was so large.
scary thing is amador returns every scorer besides shawn daut.
should there have been the suspended runner in the boys D.1 race for AV, he would have had to PR greatly in order to surpass MV
YES SRHS girls beat Montgomery! I'm so happy he was wrong. Now maybe he'll know to watch out for us next year, especially when our top two runners are healthy- or actually running (our original #1 runner had to take the whole season off due to stress fractures and our original #2 is still getting over a foot injury).
