Meika Beaudoin-Rousseau 14:59!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

There are SF teams in three different sections: SF, NC, and CC. Since the sections are supposed to be geographic, how did this happen? Does it happen anywhere else?

Albert Caruana said...

In cross country, you round up anything .1 and above so technically, Meika's time is considered 15:00. However, he can always say that he ran 14:59.6 and he is only a junior so there is time to dip even further under 15 minutes on that course.

Anonymous said...

Thanks to the toro fire, Meika gets to dip further in 10 days. In other news, SF came within 7 points of Bell, making the case that next year will be very interesting in the WCAL. The top 4 WCAL guys really have separated themselves from the rest and both teams are clearly the best in CCS.

Anonymous said...

Speaking of moving CCS to Crystal this year, does anyone know if the board has made a decision to return to Crystal next year, as originally scheduled, or will they go to Toro so Crystal does not host 3 years in a row?

Albert Caruana said...

The CCS post-season evaluation meeting will take place after the state meet on Tuesday, November 9th. I am sure the course for next year will be one of the points of discussion.

Anonymous said...

@ 7:18.

It was close because it was a dual meet. Next year will be exactly the same as this year as both return their top 4 runners. In fact Bell and SF both lose their #5 and #7 next year. Considering Bell has more depth and draw on talent, it will be another dual meet, but you would need a series of injuries and bad luck on Bell's side if SF wants a shot to win. It's fun to dream though.

It really is a shame these two schools are the only ones getting talent in the WCAL.

The question is can Willow Glen knock off SF. WG beat Jesuit and ran fast on a really tough course. My bet would be they would have beat SF that day too. WG v. SF is the meet of the day for CCS and I would not be surprised is WG gets the win.

Anonymous said...

Im not sure it's a fair assessment to say those are the only teams drawing talent when WCAL teams are predicted to gobble up all 3 D3 slots to CIF, and another is right on the cusp in D2.

Murr said...

@11:39 Good point on the D2 battle between WG and SF. Should be fun to watch, especially if everyone is in top form. Slight edge to SF on the power of their performance at Stanford and WCAL final.

Most of the battles between Bell and SF have been dual meets this year since the top 5 for each generally come in the top 15 overall. Next year will likely be the same, with SF having its best chance in years to take the WCAL title. While Bell has more kids and therefore more depth, the current F/S talent favors SF.

Anonymous said...

Anyone know what happened to Nueva? I thought they were eligible for the CCS this year but I don't see them in the WBAL results.

Albert Caruana said...

They are in PSAL.

Anonymous said...

Are we going to get section predictions soon? Lots of great battles set up this year and CCS at Crystal where it belongs!

Anonymous said...

Hey Albert. When do you think new NCS rankings will be out? Especially after those wild races in EBAL, the section looks wide open this year.

Murr said...

Sure I'll start: DI Bellarmine, Meika B-R (both are a lock); DII St. Francis, Colonna (in a slight upset); DIII SI, Hollister (also a lock); DIV SLV, Lavorato; DV CSUS (in a tight one), Lange (lock, could have had multiple titles).

Albert Caruana said...

This year might be a little difficult with some teams moved from Toro Park. I am not sure what the time difference is from the alternate course that was used this year.

Albert Caruana said...

NCS rankings will be posted mid week.

Andrew said...

WACC (NCS) results at adkinstrakwest http://atwresults.com/atwupload/20161105/

Should be up on athletic.net soon I imagine.

Anonymous said...

I think Slaney will have something to say about your D1 lock, and D3 is wide open.

Murr said...

@7:45 DIII team is wide open, Hollister is a lock. Slaney is going to have to bring it because MBR is looking like a machine right now.

Anonymous said...

7 under 16, 6 under 15:50, 2 under 15:40 at WACC finals. Course seemed to run a bit slower than earlier this season from my perspective.

Andrew said...

@12:21 AM, one of the racers told me "It was like a jungle" in regards to the length of the grass. Likely due to the recent-ish rain. We all know that can slow things down.

Anonymous said...

We'll see about D1. Slaney's come up big plenty of times. I'm not sure how SI kid is a lock if a Riordon kid beat him by 10 seconds at WCAL, and a host of others predicted to be right around 16. Roman Munoz will be a factor also if he's healthy.

Murr said...

Sorry, thought Riordon is DII. In that case Paulbitski should be favored. How does WCAL have so many DIII teams? Slaney can certainly step it up and take the win but MBR is looking solid. Should be fun the watch.

Anonymous said...

MVAL league finals will be on Thursday, will be able to see some good teams come out of that possibly.

Anonymous said...

Why do people use SI kid, Riordan kid, instead of just using their last names?
Do you really not know their name?

It's definitely more clear to use the name and in most cases shorter. Except for Beaudoin-Rousseau of course.

Anonymous said...

I think it's because sometimes people have less than complimentary things to say about some of the kids and therefore don't use names. For purposes of rankings (since we are talking about the top kids) I agree we should use names. Just be nice, these are HS kids we are talking about.

Anonymous said...

I agree

Anonymous said...

I don't recall saying anything uncomplimentary about anyone. I don't want to try and butcher names. Like the kid from Mills, or Hillsdale who will be in the D3 mix. I think it's way worse to be making "lock" picks when you don't even know who's in the race. All you know is SI is in there. I'll bet the Saratoga Kid(not the same kid who beat the Aragon kid last year), and the Aptos kid will have something to say about your lock too. No disrespect meant to Hollister. He's got as good of shot as anyone. The kid from Palo Alto ran pretty well against the kid who graduated from Lynbrook last year, so I got a feeling he'll be ready.

Anonymous said...

@10:51 The commenter did not accuse anyone of saying uncomplimentary things about the kids. He or she was just answering the question about why commenters often don't use names. I think 7:39's answer was accurate and likely 90% of the reason. The other 10% is probably attributed to the following: they haven't bothered to look up the name or can't spell it, or they don't know what the heck they are talking about.

Anonymous said...

Great points on what you think people mean when the make their predictions. Got any actual predictions?

Anonymous said...

Albert,
It would be interesting to see a comparison of the "preseason" section rankings vs the section finals results. Maybe a Norcal example too.

Anonymous said...

MVAL results: http://fordtiming.us/results (click on the first results). The varsity boys results seem to be ten seconds slower than the actual times....and it is an exact 3 mile course (so the pace next to the times are off).

Anonymous said...

Will there be updated rankings coming out, now that all league finals have been completed?

Murr said...

@Murr 11/5 nice work on the predictions! 7 out of 10 correct, with other 3 finishing in second place. Great racing yesterday. While the boys had some great battles, the girls stole the show with 7 times under 18:00. Anyone know what the weather looks like in Fresno?

Anonymous said...

"The show" was Willow Glen vs. Saint Francis. Best race of the day.

Sub 15 is equal to sub 17.

I wouldn't saw the show was stolen.

Anonymous said...

Best team battle goes to the D2 SF vs WG tie broken by SF 6th man place (only 3 places ahead). I have seen other tie breakers including best first man, head to head by placement (1st vs 1st, 2nd vs 2nd, etc.). Does CCS dictate the method or CIF? Is it the same at the State meet?
