Overview: The strongest team battle in the Letter Races is sure to come out of here. Lowell is the favorite here, after doing well in local competition. Boyertown and Iona Prep may be more battle-tested though, as they've traveled to larger meets like Paul Short and the Disney Classic, respectively. Add in Pearl River, and you have a tight race through their 5th men. Individually, Vermont may notch a win here, as Stephen Looke comes seeded best. But Matt Politis is an athlete on the rise, and may challenge for that lead, a top returned from last year.
