Pre-Race Analysis ... Sauquoit Valley is the defending Class D champion once again ... but Beaver River enters the race as the morning-line favorite.

Beaver River won the Frontier League meet with a perfect score of 15 ... they were then the top team in the merge at the Chittenango Invitational ... Sauquoit Valley won the Center States Conference meet handily ... Beaver River and Sauquoit Valley are the top two ranked Class D teams in the State (as ranked by NY MileSplit), but only one can qualify to compete at States.

Individual Race ... Dylan Canarelli is the favorite to win the Class D race (he won this race last year) ... A bunch of guys have a shot at getting one of the five individual qualifying spots to States.

Pre-Race Analysis ... Fayetteville-Manlius is the top-rated team in the nation once again, and the odds-on favorite to win this race handily.

Liverpool is in the hunt for a possible NXN bid at the end of the season (they beat West Genesee by 57-101 at the SCAC League meet).

Individual Race ... Once again, looks like a "pick-em" amongst the Fayetteville-Manlius girls with Claire Walters, Phoebe Wright and Sophie Ryan leading the way ... Liverpool's Jenna Schulz and Madison Neuner having been racing well all season.

Pre-Race Analysis ... Westhill is the defending Class B champion ... Westhill and Jamesville-Dewitt have been the top Class B teams in recent seasons.

This year, Jamesville-Dewitt is the favorite over Westhill ... Jamesville-Dewitt finished 6th at the SCAC Championship, but they were only beaten by the Class A teams (FM, Liverpool, etc) ... Westhill finished 2nd (to CBA, the Class C favorite) at OHSL Liberty Championship meet.

Individual Race ... Elizabeth Lucason is the top-rated Class B runner, but she has not raced since McQuaid at the end of September; I do not know her status entering this race (if she does not race, it will effect the Camden team finish predicted above) ... Sophia Vinciguerra and Madeline Foss are the next top-rated Class B runners.

Abbey Copperwheat (New York Mills) has run well all season, and is expected to grab a State qualifying position ... South Lewis is the team favorite, but if upset by Beaver River, South Lewis is expected to get 3 individual State qualifying spots.
