Kyle's Comments: There could be some shuffling at the top. Fayetteville-Manlius looked strong in their openers, both a dual meet and an invitational. Liverpool may soon find St. Anthony's closer than expected with the return of Joe Tucker, who was previously thought to have been sitting out the season, as in 2013. Joe is the brother of Pat Tucker, who placed as an All-American in the 5k on the track. The pair will lead the Friars.

Kyle's Comments: Warwick will open their season this weekend at their home invite, which will clear up some uncertainties in the third position. Likewise, Shen had some strong showings in the Section 2 market early.

Kyle's Comments: Brighton ran true to their speed rating average at ESM, with a tight compression. Tappan Zee's average is strong at the front end, with a nice 1-2 punch. However, it seems as unrnaked Carthage now has the edge over TZ's top two, and could put some pressure for the individual race as well. Yet, it still looks like Section 5 is a hot bed for Class B competition so far.

Kyle's Comments: East Aurora's front end ran very this past weekend, pushing their average onwards and upwards. Jeremy Spiezio will have some competition at the front. No other major changes.
