More NorCal data by Bellarmine coach, Patrick McCrystle

Using the database that John Maloney compiled, but not including the Central Section, I have put together a list of the top 25 NorCal schools by average of top 5 returning 3200 marks from track ’22, thinking that might help with your rankings. I have also included the delta between top 4 returners and top 3 returners, to differentiate between teams that are top heavy versus deep…enjoy!

Neilson Powless-Roseville HS

Those of you following the Tour de France may have noticed that an American rider, Neilson Powless is currently in 2nd place. Not sure how many of you are aware of this but Neilson was an outstanding runner at Roseville HS (SJS) competing for two years (sophomore and junior seasons) in 2012 and 2013. He had a best of 15:29 at Woodward Park as he finished in 8th place as a junior in the Division II race.
