Summary: Corning
took the first three places behind Jessica Lawson on the way to a
dominating 31-52-58 win over Elmira and Ithaca. It would not be a
complete surprise if any of the three teams win this year's race, but
after a big win at STAC, Ithaca is in the driver's seat, and the Little
Red's Lizzy Rayle was the top S4-A runner in the STAC race and will be
favored here.

Summary: Maine-Endwell
took the S4-B title easily last year and again seems poised to move on
to States, where it finished 9th last year. ME's frontrunner Alison Otis
has a very strong chance to repeat her win from last year.

Summary: Newark
Valley claimed another S4-C title last year but by a rather close 14
point margin and finished a ways back at States in 6th. This year the
Cardinals again appear to be in a close contest with Chenango Forks and
Waverly, but they were ahead of the other S4-C teams at IAC and seem to
have momentum on their side. A lot of runners will be in the lead pack
for the individual title, and Marissa Silba finished 2nd last year and
is the top returning runner.

Summary: Delhi
finished only 5th in last year's Sectionals, but after a good showing
at Marathon it looks to be a favorite to unseat Trumansburg. Kelsey
Young of Deposit finished 3rd last year and is the highest rated runner
going into the S4-D battle.
