Breakdown: We'll be getting our best individual race of the day here, as the top three athletes have all gone undefeated so far season and came out with the exact same speed rating of 185. Your next four athletes have not finished lower than second this year, only bolstering the field even more. With the race this tight, expect a strong pack at the front throughout, coming down to whomever has the best kick when it counts. The team competition is just as loaded with Burnt Hills in the mix. However, with the field dynamics changing from a week ago, they'll get their first true test as to how their compression will hold up under pressure. Ithaca was close last week, and with a larger amount of displacers up front, they could come out with the win. Corning are the in-section rivals to Ithaca, and will be doing what they can to be the spoilers as well.
