Pre-Race Analysis ... The top four teams listed above have one thing in common ... They all skipped the Federation Meet. Corning won the NY State Meet, and that makes Corning the favorite entering the New York regional ... Saratoga had an "off-race" at States and Fayetteville-Manlius could not race at States because Liverpool won the Section 3 qualifier for States (the three FM guys at States ran well) ... Ithaca could not race at States because Corning won the Section 4 qualifier ... Ithaca's off-performance at Feds was due to food poisoning to a top runner (did not run) and another guy running despite being sick. Actually, the 5 top teams listed above are not separated by that much ... all show good strength at the top two or three positions (Liverpool is very strong at the top three positions ... speed ratings of 192, 190 and 186 at States) ... The finishing positions of this race could well be determined by the performance levels of the #4 and #5 scorers. I placed Fayetteville-Manlius at the 2nd-spot above because FM seems to get the job done at this meet ... But to me, it looks wide-open overall. Individual Race ... Only one of the top 27 rated male runners in NY has opted to run Footlocker ... So this is a real NY championship for individuals with a reward for the top five finishers not on a team qualifying for NXN ... The overall speed rating below indicate a wide-open race for the top spot ... Looks very competitive. |

Pre-Race Analysis ...
Fayetteville-Manlius is the odds-on favorite to win once again
... FM skipped Federations to prepare for
this race (again).
Annual Repeat - Fayetteville-Manlius has been impressive all season, and there is no reason to suspect that will change ... FM beat North Rockland and Saratoga by 30 and 58 points, respectively, at States with only nine teams in the race. North Rockland won the Federation Meet with a good performance, and is the favorite to grab the second NXN auto-qualifying spot. Saratoga did not run well at Feds ... they had a better team performance at States, and that type of performance could put them in the 3rd-place finishing position which would be important in getting an At-Large bid to NXN. Shenendehowa, Shoreham Wading River, Corning and Niskayuna are all serious contenders to finish 3rd or 4th with a good team performance ... and should North Rockland falter somewhat, five or six teams could be in the hunt for the second NXN auto-qualifying spot. Individual Race ... The top 13 overall speed-rated girls in NY are competing at NXN ... Only one girl in the list below is running at Footlocker ... 7th-grader Elizabeth Lucason (6th at Federations) has opted to run at Junior Olympics instead of NXN ... Kelsey Chmiel is the favorite entering this New York regional, but Jessica Lawson, Katherine Lee and Katelyn Tuohy are close behind. The five individual qualifiers to NXN may not be known until the At-Large selection committee selects the 4 national At-Large teams ... I suspect NY will be getting at least one At-Large bid, and maybe two if the #4 finishing team runs well. |
