2022 NY Girls XC Preview: Class D

Section by Section Class D Overview

SectionTop TeamsNotes
1Haldane
Only Haldane appears potentially able to field a team for sectionals.
2Voorheesville, Berlin-Nw Lebanon, Maple Hill, Hoosic Valley
Voorheesville drops down from C and is favored over reigning champ Berlin in S2-D..
3South Lewis, Beaver River, Weedsport
South Lewis likely stays on on top of S3-D for 2021 and 2022 after last year's runner-up Oriskany was entirely cleaned out by graduation.
4Delhi
Delhi should repeat but needs to field a few more runners.
5Addison, Honeoye Central, Harley-Allendale-Clumbia, Arkport-Canaseraga, Oakfield-Alabama
S5-D is likely the only section that will have a big and fairly competitive race, but Addison again has the edge over Honeoye Central.
6Clymer-Sherman-Panama, Maple Grove, Barker
Due to some key losses at the top, Maple Grove's 12-year reign as S6-D champs could be threatened by a deeper CSP team.
7Lake Placid, Ticonderoga
Lake Placid's streak of three straight S7-D wins could be in jeopardy as two evenly matched teams return almost all of last year's squads.
8
Still nada.
9Tri-Valley
The addition of a key 7th-grader to last year's 4-runner squad will qualify TV as a real favorite in S9-D.
10
No representatives last year, though Brushton-Moira had three runners at States.
11Pierson, Port Jefferson
Most of the runners for both squads are back but the sectional champ graduated.
