Norcal Rankings pre-state meet...

As we head into the State Meet, I thought I would put the following teams out there for all of you to rank. In the comment section below, pick who you think are the 10 best teams and place them in order. The Hayward HS (NCS)course and the Crystal Springs (CCS) course are fairly comparable in time in that they are about 20 seconds faster than the Woodward Park course. The Willow Hill Reservoir course used in the SJS meet is approximately 30-40sec slower than Woodward for the boys. I am not sure what the conversion is for Northern Section course.

NCS Preview:
Thank you very much to all the coaches and athletes who helped me break down each division. The following is my best attempt to predict the top 5 teams as well as the top individuals for each division (boys and girls) in today’s sectional meet. The teams from this meet that will qualify for the State Meet at Woodward Park in Fresno on November 28^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 and top 18 when 5 teams qualify.

The top 3 teams in each division will receive medals. Seven (7) medals will be provided per team of seven.
