Still a 20 degree difference though as it was 58 for D3, probably mid 60's low 70's for the Championship race.<br /><br />I love the coaches who post on here posing as "fans." No one just hangs out at XC meets unless you are a parent or athlete. And on that rare chance they are a fan there is no chance they have inside info.

Do you think that the SJND, which took Stanford Div V places 1 through 4 with two varsity runners out with injuries, is overrated? Or have they perhaps been underchallanged at the early meets? Note Gabe Arias lost to Adrian Goltra at Ed Sias in a true photo finish, showing matching speed against one of the top runners; the rest of the team (again missing 2 varsity runners) did well too. The Murphy twins are definitely just getting better!<br /><br />Just saying, any kudos to SJND are justified by their speed, depth, and determination.Nilsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-5866255862022453512013-10-15T08:02:11.118-07:002013-10-15T08:02:11.118-07:00SJS Girls - Davis, St Francis, and Bella Vista gir...SJS Girls - Davis, St Francis, and Bella Vista girls I think are all competing at the upcoming Bronco Invite at Willow Hills this weekend . . . that should sort things out a bit.
