2014 New York XC Sectionals Preview


 

Sectional Showdown 

State Qualifiers Spanning Tuesday, October 28 to Saturday, November 1, 2014

 

 


For most of the public school New York teams, the season all comes down to the Sectionals meet this week, from which 82 teams will advance to the States championship along with around 400 at-large runners. Some of the races are very one-sided, but there are many others that will turn a lot of coaches' hair very white before they're completed. Of special interest are these three cliff-hangers:

Girls Section 2-A race. Shenendehowa and Saratoga engage in an epic clash

Girls Section 4-A race. It is rare that a top-ranked team in the state could be an underdog, but that may be the case here with Elmira and Corning.

Boys Section 5-A race. Three teams may be projected to finish in a three-way tie, as Webster Thomas, McQuaid, and Fairport battle it out

One crazy thing has already happened. One of the nation's top 5 teams will not be at States because of the NY state champ set-up, as either the Liverpool or Fayetteville-Manlius guys will not be going as a team. This should never be allowed to happen again.

A lot of races are about to be run that will end in almost a dead heat, and we are pointing out likely candidates with the help of a little hot pepper.
