New York's Top Class C Teams
Choosing
a list of top 13 teams (again, devilish uncertainty and some teams may decide to compete in a different class) is tough until the season opens up and we can
see how teams have come together maybe by the time of the Pre-States
meet at Chenango Valley on September 18. How the Class C teams will fill
out is anyone's guess, and the following list gives some possibilities
based on runners who were around during the last two years, and in some cases we are supplying a team's fifth runner based on track results. Who will
actually show up come September is the big question.

Section-by-Section Overview
Composing
