JSerra High in California won the Sundown Showdown girls varsity 3-mile title with 43 points at the ASICS Cool Breeze Invitational at the Pomona Fairplex in California. Summer Wilson finished second in 17:24.6, fellow sophomo...
Great Cow run - Glendora (in the rated race at Woodbridge), beat Palisades (in the sweepstakes race) by a good margin, and both teams were at full strength from what I could tell. Glendora went 1,3,7,9 with juniors. A team to watch in the Woodbridge rated race.
These woodbridge entries are really bad the director didn't do their homework. Rock Canyon, CO showed in recent races that they are the best team in Colorado, and they got put in the rated race. Skyridge, UT showed they are a top 5 team in Utah, and got put into the rated. A few Texas teams also deserve to be in the sweepstakes.

Anyone remember when last year Newbury Park’s 6th-12th runner group was originally put in the sweepstakes? And they were switched to the rated race later? Changes might happen
Rich Prepcaltrack released that it was wheeled at 2.93. If that's the case then top times were 14:32 and 14:34. Course looks weird from the map though, not sure how it raced.
I think Glendora should be in sweeps but also Palisades doesn't seem to be at full capacity. Their one stick should've been better than glendora's by looking at PRs. At a meet like woodbridge that point gap could be made up solely by the one stick since there's so much depth up front. Also Palisades had a 9:21 guy run 15:15 so if it was 2.93 then it would be 15:35 for 3 miles. Another point from great cow is how Millikan performed. Were they missing a core scorer besides Parra? They lost as expected without Parra, but they were really far away score wise from Palisades and Glendora.
There are a few teams that should be in sweeps but got stuck in the rated most notably Rock Canyon, CO. All highlighted teams are the teams that are in the rated race but should be in the sweeps. Every team that is not highlighted is in the sweeps race.
top tier / the very best teams Great Oak Newbury Park Ventura San Clemente Crater (OR) Herriman (UT) Southlake Carroll (TX) Rock Canyon (CO) Dana Hills Trabuco Hills
very good teams can easily become top tier easily JSerra Glendora Palisades Charter Torrey Pines Matilda Torres Buchanan Clovis East Mira Costa Loyola Granada Eastwood (TX) Austin Vandegrift (TX)
barely good enough Clovis West Clovis Santa Margarita St Francis Beckman Redwood Faith Luthern (NV) Shadow Ridge (NV)
very overrated / should be switched out with a team in rated race Millikan Tesora Sage Creek Westview La Serna Cathedral Yosemite El Dorado St John’s Bosco
Yes, but it also seems that Hernandez didn’t have a good race because he related his time from last year. They were also running with only 6 guys and there number 3, Fabila, wasn’t racing, I think due to cif transferring rules.

I hope they change the woodbridge sweepstakes startline and add the following teams

Rock Canyon (CO)
JSerra
Glendora
Eastwood (TX)
Austin Vandegrift (TX)
Austin Vandegrift and Eastwood are both very good teams that need to be put in the sweeps imo
Good to see Colton Walker back in form. Two seasons ago he was one of the best 10th graders in California, running 4:13/9:06!! Looks like he got injured in XC last season and missed all of track season. Most people under ranked Vacaville this year because most projections were done solely by last years times. I took a guess he would be back and included his 10th grade times in my rankings, and I had Vacaville ranked #21 in the state. Amazing how much adding a 9:06 runner to your team improves your ranking :)
