NCS Preview:

Thank you very much to all the coaches who helped me break down each division.  The following is my best attempt to predict the top 5-7 teams as well as the top individuals for each division (boys and girls) in Saturday’s section meet.  The teams from this meet that will qualify for the State Meet at Woodward Park in Fresno on November 30^th are noted for each division.  The top 5 individuals from each race will also qualify to the state meet provided they are in the top 12 when 2 teams qualify, top 14 when 3 teams qualify, top 16 when 4 teams qualify, top 18 when 5 teams qualify and top 20 when 6 teams qualify.

The winning teams in each division will receive plaques.  The top 2 teams in each division will receive pennants.  The top 3 teams in each division will receive medals.  Seven (7) medals will be provided per team of seven.  The top 7 individuals in each race will receive medals.

Thanks to Kevin Gray and parental group from Amador Valley HS.

St. Francis, Mt. View Girls

As was mentioned yesterday, the St. Francis Mt. View girls ran the 3rd fastest team time on the Crystal Springs course yesterday at the WCAL final. They also became the first team to have 7 runners dip under the 19 minute mark in the same race. Congratulations to them and best of luck to the rest of the teams competing this week.

The all-time list for the Crystal Springs course can be found at this LINK and will be updated after this season.

New Team Time Record on the Crystal Springs course for the Bellarmine Bells today

Congratulations to the Bellarmine boys who won the WCAL final today scoring 16 points. Their top 5 boys also ran a team time of 76:10 which surpasses the previous course record mark of 76.15.4 set by the 1985 Jesuit team. As noted by a poster below, all 7 Bellarmine boys are juniors.
