Girls Team Race
Breakdown: There is no question that the Federation Championships have been Saratoga's game for almost the meet's entirety. Since 1989, they've won twenty-two of the last twenty-seven Federation Titles. However, in 2016, things might get a little dicey. North Rockland looked very strong at the State Meet, taking down Saratoga convincingly in the Class A race, as well as the merge. However, Saratoga didn't run their #2, Peyton Engborg. Add her into the merge below, and you are looking at North Rockland's advantage diminished to only a 10-point lead. While North Rockland has the home-field advantage, Saratoga has the Title advantage. This one could get close.
The pair shouldn't forget the teams behind them, either. Shenendehowa had a rebound race at States, where their Top 2 were consistent with their Sectional performances, while their next two saw a decline. If they are back in form, we could see this turn into a three way battle. Niskayuna will see a similar effect, as their marks below are from Sectionals. if they can maintain, they could challenge for a Top 3 finish.
