Class A | |||
| Position | Team | TR | Top Runners |
1 | Fayetteville-Manlius | 175.8 | Otis, Geehrer, Howles, Peden, Altimonda, Patrick, Perry |
2 | Liverpool | 158.4 | Rodriguez, McGowan, Hagen, Glashauser, Praschunas, Fennelly, Lewis |
3 | Rome Free Academy | 156.2 | Sletten, Ferretti, Russell, Van Hoesel, Pratt, Millington |
4 | Cicero-North Syracuse | 156.2 | Davis, Leclair, Koeppe, Romano, Breitback, Bergman, Schmid |
5 | Baldwinsville | 150.2 | Michaels, Delaney, Cary, Holden-Betts, Hludzenski, Micho |
Summary: After years of hard-fought battles at the S3-A race between two teams that were often headed to Nationals together, last year was a perfectly easy win for Fayetteville-Manlius by 15-64 over Liverpool at a mudhole of a Sectional. This year's contest will be slightly closer with the Warriors still a year away from strongly challenging the Hornets, but FM should still win comfortably with a squad ranked #1 in the state. Peyton Geehrer and Sam Otis of FM are the top rated guys, but the main target here is to survive the cold, grab a berth to Plattsburgh, and then get ready to run a very fast 5K next Saturday. And it's worth noting that 8 of the top 13 rated guys here are juniors.

Summary: Beaver River's margin over Sauquoit Valley last year 83 points, and this year the race should be closer with Sauquoit Valley 3rd ranked in the state. Colton Kempney should be a repeat winner for the Beavers, who are heavily favored to win their 18th state title at Plattsburgh.
