Summary: After losing five of its top 6 from last year, defending champ Niskayuna is sitting well back this year and S2-A looks to be mainly a three-way contest between Saratoga, Guilderland, and Shen.Saratoga has the best strength at the top, Guilderland is strongest in the middle, and five Men of Shen could be across the finish line before the Blue Streaks and Silver Wariors have five in. A virtual score by the TRs has this one as approximately Saratoga 71, Guilderland 71, and Shen 73, with Saratoga winning it on the tie-breaker. Record heat at Saratoga Park. Shea Weilbaker was 3rd last year, and he should be a ways ahead in 2018.

Summary: Burnt Hills is the biggest favorite in any of the major Sectional races, and the only question here is whether one of Schalmont's twins Antonio and Francisco Beltran can prevent a perfect 15 score for the Spartans. Tyler Berg was the individual winner last year with Aidan Gillooley and Evan Brennan 2nd and 3rd.

Summary: LaSalle appears to have opened up some ground on the rest of the contenders recently with a 3rd place finish at Colonial Council. Evan Ensslin was 3rd last year and should get the title this year
