Holden-Betts, Wilson, Ragonese, McAllister, Chappell-Bauer, Kozman

Summary:  Fayetteville-Manlius again seems to be far enough ahead in S3-A to take the title, though Liverpool and West Genesee have greatly improved their ratings during the year but do not have the Hornets' pack. WG junior Peter McMahon has had a breakout season, especially recently, and he should be one to watch at States.

Summary:  Jamesville-Dewitt should win the S3-B title again as it just has the best balance and depth. And what are the odds of the top runners in S3-A and S3-B sharing the same last name? Note that CBA-Syracuse has three top runners but apparently no fourth or fifth, so it is not listed as a contender.

Gilmore, Austin, Smith, Ruddy, Lounsbury
Summary:  Though it's a far cry from the S3-C golden age when it had 9 of the top 10 teams in the state C rankings battling for that one spot from its SQ, VVS should be a strong representative in a year when there are really no powerhouse squads that will be headed to Chenango Valley.

Summary: The winningest program in state history looks to be set with late-season developments to make another trip to States. Colton Kempney has been holding strong at the top of the class, and he should have a great duel with South Lewis's Collin Stafford.
