Summary:
Last year Stuyvesant and its frontrunner Kivan Tavangar captured the
PSAL team and individual championship. In 2017 it is Brooklyn Tech and
its top guy Evan Sherman who are seeking to pull off the double. The
Engineers captured the Brooklyn PSAL Boro championship even though
Midwood placed three runners in the top 5, and the team's top level
strength of Sherman, Robert Straight, and Isaac Stamper and 1-5 balance
make it the favorite to capture Brooklyn Tech's first title since 2014.
If
there is any team that can stop Brooklyn Tech, it will likely be Staten
Island Boro champ Susan Wagner. The Falcons have frontrunner William
Cuthbertson as a contender for the individual title and also solid 1-6
depth. Two other teams that are running a little ways back are Midwood
behind a strong top 3 of Ermiyas Harper, Tobias Belber Tiberghi, and
Demian Lofnes-Scott, and a Bronx Science squad that is compact enough to
punch well above its running weight. Two-times reigning champ
Stuyvesant is young and developing and should contend for a top 5 spot.
The
score for the merged results of the PSAL Boro championships is probably
pretty close to what a speed ratings virtual score would show for the relative positions of the teams, the
latter being a difficult thing to compute for the huge number of PSAL
teams, some of which did not qualify for the Team race and will have
runners instead in the Individual race. Some teams like Susan Wagner did not run at their usual pace at the meet though, so expect the score to tighten up significantly when all the marbles are on the line on Saturday. Scores for all the teams should be lower with only about 20 teams in the race instead of the 61 in the Boro's meet. The top 8 team places in the
Boro merge were:
1. Brooklyn Tech 61, 2. Susan Wagner
122, 3. Bronx Science 172, 4. Midwood 189, 5. Stuyvesant 217, 6.
Bayside 235, 7. McKee Tech 253, 8. Francis Lewis 284
