Pre-Race Analysis ... Fayetteville-Manlius won the SCAC League Championship by 62 points scoring just 25 points ... Cicero-North Syracuse beat Liverpool by only 1 point at SCAC, and Rome Free Academy and Baldwinsville are within striking distance of the runner-up spot.

Individual Race ... The top guys are listed below ... I expect somebody from FM will win ... The top five finishers not on the winning team qualify as individuals to the State Meet (for all classes).

Pre-Race Analysis ... Jamesville Dewitt is the favorite to win this race and they are the defending Section 3 Class B champion ... Like last year, Jamesville Dewitt finished 6th at the SCAC League Meet, but were only beaten by the Class A teams (FM, etc).

Looks like a real toss-up for the #2 spot ... Whitesboro beat Central Valley by 6 points at the TVL League Meet, however, Central Valley finished ahead of Whitesboro at the Adirondack Invitational merged results (with Cortland further back) ... East Syracuse-Minoa finished decently close to Jamesville Dewitt at the SCAC League Meet.

Individual Race ...Nick Berg is a solid favorite to win the Class B race ... a bunch of runners in contention for the other qualifying spots.

Individual Race ... Claire Walters has been running very well and is the individual favorite to win again ... Jenna Schulz is the #2-rated Class A runner with Hannah Kaercher and Phoebe White close behind ...  Kate Putman is a good choice to qualify as an individual along with Emily Toth-Ratazzi ...

Pre-Race Analysis ... Camden lost in a tie-breaker to Class A Rome Free Academy at the TVL League Championship, but beat New Hartford (who is the favorite in the Class B race).

Clinton won the CSC Conference Championship by 19 points ... South Lewis won the Frontier League Championship, and South Lewis is likely to place 3 runners in the top 4 finishing positions ... Displacement could be a huge factor in determining the winner of this race ... Camden was Class B last year (only lost by 5 points at sectionals), and Camden is the slight favorite.

Individual Race ... The most competitive race of the day for the win ... Elizabeth Lucason, Hannah Ielfield, Byrnn Bernard and Lexie Bernard are very closely rated.

Pre-Race Analysis ... Tully is the defending Class D champion in both Section 3 and NY State ... Tully won the OHSL Patriot Championship with team score of 23.

Remsen (actually Remsen & Old Forge are combined this season) finished 2nd to Clinton (projected to be 2nd in Class C) at the CSC Championship and is not really that far behind Tully ... and Beaver River is fairly close behind Remsen ... This is the last race of the day.

Individual Race ... Brooke Rauber (Tully) is the top-rated Class D runner in NY State and the odds-on favorite to win the individual title again ... Caitlyn Acompora, Katie Edinger, Emily Rudolph, Jade Dening and Paris Welker seem closely matched for the next five spots.
