Again, comments are welcome. I want to make the above list as accurate as possible before we head into the league, section and eventually, the state meet.
The Mtn. View boys have yet to beat the Davis boys, so I think Davis should be #1.
ReplyDeleteThe Gunn girls are better than their rank.
I thought Mitty and Presentation were D2?
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the rankings ... I appreciate the time that you put into them Albert.
De La Salle has beat Jesuit in combined results at Stanford and Clovis, so I think DLS should be #10.
ReplyDeleteEvan,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback. I will adjust the rankings accordingly.
I will also double check about Mitty and Presentation. I believe I got those rankings from the SJ Mercury News rankings on Hank's site.
Presentation and Mitty are indeed Division II. Thanks for catching that.
ReplyDeleteDLS moved up to #10. Seems only fair.
Any others?
Are you putting up individual rankings?
ReplyDeleteIndividual rankings will be up in the next two days.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Al.
ReplyDeleteI think the Lynbrook girls are better than Leigh, Los Gatos, Mitty, and Presentation.
ReplyDeleteCCS Girls (based on races to date):
ReplyDeleteGunn - Have all the pieces. Would have been very competitive in D2 at State...
Aptos - Only six, so an injury and a bad day drops them far
Mt. View - Their #4 through #10 runners are interchangeable.
Carlmont - Excellent top three... Need #4 & #5 to come through at CCS.
Leigh - Not clear how they get in the top 25. They have two top runners, but the rest of the team has yet to perform at a level that could get them in the top 6 at CCS D2.
Lynbrook - Better than Leigh, but not Los Gatos, Mitty, Presentation, or St. Francis (MV) [Sorry Coach...] They'll have to pull one out of the hat to get to State.
St. Ignatius - Besides Hinds? I rank Scotts Valley and ND Salinas above SI.
College Park has continuously beat De La Salle this year so why do they keep getting ranked ahead?
ReplyDeleteNot that this is the end all but De La Salle had a team time of 81:07 and College Park had a team time of 81:26 at Mt. SAC. Two very evenly matched teams it seems.
ReplyDeleteMountain View boys are easily the best team in N Cal. Good to see Myjer run solid. how much faster can he get after some racing? SAw Rowe vid and he was sick at Mt Sac which makes sense. team will challange all at state when these two are finaly healthy
ReplyDeleteDon't forget, Davis did not run their #1 guy at Mt. Sac. But thanks for the Mt. View props Mr. Anonymous (how do you find the time to post so often, anyway?). I too am excited to see what Mountain View does in the next month. They have been working quite hard.
ReplyDeleteCarlmont girls beat Mountain View and Davis yesterday at Mt. Sac. They have definitely found their 4/5/6 girls. I would rank them about 4 spots higher than #7.
ReplyDeleteTurns out the new coach is quite good. At the same time, I still miss the old one. Thanks for the well wishes Gilkey. I hope we can deliver ...
MV showing life and I doubt Davis is the target. Such a slow start, can they peak for November? I doubt anyone in CA will be 20 sec ahead of rowe at state when he's healthy and ready. myjer and others may be the key. is myjer getting healthy?
ReplyDeleteAlbert:
ReplyDeleteNot wishing to toot my own horn too terribly much, but the Northgate boys did run a team time of 82:52 in the D-I race # 54 at Mt. SAC. Not bad for a D-III NCS team.
I just though that might put us on the bubble.
Peter
I agree that on the girls side Scotts Valley and ND Salinas should rank above SI. SV's top 4 are super solid and they have 5 - 7 runners that can hold up the deal...
