Summary: Arlington is going for its 5th straight S1-A title, and the Admirals appear well set get another crown. Scarsdale might prove to be the biggest challenge with a fairly balanced pack. Colin Waters and Daniel Shephard were 2nd and 3rd in last year's race, and they should be battling all the way to the line this year like they did at Section 1 Coaches.
Summary: Pearl River looks to repeat as S1-B champ with a lineup that is both strong enough at the top and deep enough to likely hold off any serious challenges. Tappan Zee finished 2nd to the Pirates at Rockland County, but the Dutchmen were 40 points behind and don't appear to have the depth to catch Pearl River. Ryan Guerci is not only a contender, but the Nanuet frontrunner and Rockland County champ should cruise to the win this year after finishing 2nd in 2017.

Summary:
S1-C is packing a lot of heat this year. Defending champ Pleasantville has the guys at the top but not a lot of depth. Dobbs Ferry has the pack. Irvington may have enough top guys and depth, but is still a bit of a mystery. Bronxville could have the top two guys but will likely finish close to last year's 8th place result. Most of the contending teams ran at Westchester County, but some key guys were held out. Pawling had a nice result at Northern County but results arrived late. The virtual TR score has the top three teams grouped at around the 92 mark with Pawling at around 96, but there's too much uncertainty concerning the 4th and 5th spots for a lot of the teams. Every place matters, as this contest should be a nail-biter. Matt and Alex Rizzo will again battle Sean Gardiner for the individual title, and they all finished in the top 4 last year behind Irvington's Luke Carmosino.

Summary: The contest in S1-D is decently close this year, but Haldane might still squeeze in the top five runners. Adam Silhavy should win comfortably.
