Leiter, Efinger, Howe, Deneau, Ariano, Burroughs
Summary:  Although not all the teams were running with a full squad at OCIAA on a blustery day that killed the speed ratings, from all appearances Monroe-Woodbury's position as the S9-A frontrunner was strongly upheld. The results of OCIAA have a history of being overturned in the S9-S race, but it would take some monumental changes for Warwick Valley, Cornwall, or Washingtonville to overcome the Crusaders' depth.

Summary:  Mount Academy has a trio of top seniors backed by a younger group of guys on an Eagles team that doesn't quite have the customary depth that has earned Mount three States titles over the years. Goshen has a decently balanced squad that knows that opportunities to hang with Mount at Sectionals don't come every year, so this should be a good contest with newcomers over from Section 1 Beacon also entering the fray. Among the battles for individual titles in Sectional races, the duel between high-flying Evan Waterton and Ike Blough should be one of the best.
