Pre-Race Analysis: ... Shaker is the clear favorite ... Shaker is the NY State Class AA and Federation Champion.

Fayetteville-Manlius, Warwick Valley and Rush-Henrietta skipped Federations after losing to Shaker at States ... Fayetteville-Manlius and Warwick Valley seem evenly-matched, so the team that has the best race will likely finish second ... Rush-Henrietta is not that far behind, and a season-best performance could grab the second auto-qualifying bid to NXN Nationals.

Pre-Race Analysis ... Fayetteville-Manlius is the solid favorite to win (no surprise) ... FM skipped Federations to prepare for this race (and NXN Nationals).

Saratoga is a very solid favorite to finish second and collect the second auto-qualifying invitation to NXN Nationals.

Five teams are in the hunt to finish either 3rd  or 4th ... North Shore, Queensbury, Burnt Hills, Shenendehowa and East Aurora ... Queensbury finished slightly ahead of North Shore and East Aurora at Federations ... Burnt Hills and Shenendehowa did not compete at Feds.

Shenedehowa's score above assumes a good race by top runner Lizzie Predmore ... Predmore was scratched from the NY State Meet the night before (supposedly due to a stress fracture) .. so it's a guess as to her status and ability to run effectively, but she is in the entry list.

Burnt Hills beat Queensbury at sectionals and then had unfortunate racing mishaps at States ... about 300 meters into the State race, Meagan Roecker fell hard and was stepped on while she was on the ground and lost her shoe; five Burnt Hills girls behind her basically piled into her (or came to a standstill), and that was just the start.

North Shore is on the improve at the top end after some early season physical problems (Samantha Nadel and Brianna Nerud) ... a solid race at the #5 position could definitely result in a 3rd-place finish.

3rd and 4th place team finishes are eligible for at-large selection to NXN Nationals ... The NY girls have a great reputation and demonstrated ability to compete well at NXN Nationals by their at-large selected teams, so finishing 3rd and 4th in this regional qualifying race is important .... These finishing places will likely be determined by the #4 and #5 finishers on each team.
