Section 2 Boys
Class A | |||
Position | Team | TR | Top Runners |
1 | Saratoga | 171.0 | Talarico, Yuhasz, Pasek, Bernd, Hemsworth, Dacey, Isenovski |
2 | Shenendehowa | 164.4 | Doll, Wolf, Fox, Seagroatt, Parseghian, Hallahan, Schambach |
3 | Niskayuna | 160.6 | Hesler, Thomas, Isenovski, Canestrari, Greene |
4 | Guilderland | 156.8 | Burke, Iyer, Smitas, Blasiak, Kosier |
Summary: Although the results of the Suburban Council are not always a perfect indicator of what will happen in the boys S2-A race, when a team blows up all the bridges there as did Saratoga this year, it's a safe bet they'll win at Sectionals. The Blue Streak's smash performance lifted them up among the top three teams for the States A race along with Corning and Monroe-Woodbury. Reigning champ Shenendehowa looks good for 2nd. Suburban champ Mason Talarico is the decided favorite for the individual title.
Class B | |||
Position | Team | TR | Top Runners |
1 | Burnt Hills | 160.0 | Windecker, Smith, Robleno, Casey, Rounds, Kotkoskie, Dugan |
2 | Scotia-Glenville | 154.2 | Knaggs, Winters-Bona, Cowdrey, Freihofer, Fasciglione, Bodnarek |
3 | CBA-Albany | 145.8 | Picard, Marchese, Versaci, McKenna, Ferguson |
4 | Queensbury | 143.2 | Davidson, Campopiano, Gileski, DiPlacido, Eppedico-Cirillo |
5 | Averill Park | 141.8 | Brunelle, Wing, O'Connor, Hicks, Cooper |
Summary: Burnt
Hills does not have the power lineup that can dominate the bigger teams in the Suburban Council, but it still finished 5th with a lineup missing two of its usual top 6. The competition is closer now in S2-B with Foothills Council champ Scotia-Glenville in striking distance. If the Spartans have a full squad though, they should get a comfortable win here and set their sights on a sixth straight state championship. After finishing 8th in S2-B last year, Matt Windecker is the favorite in this year's race.
Class C | |||
Position | Team | TR | Top Runners |
1 | Fonda-Fultonville | 150.6 | Be. Melita, Dettenrider, Sanges, Butler, Susi, Br. Melita |
2 | Schalmont | 124.6 | Flowers, Moreau, Ziebar, Hughes, Laribee |
3 | Stillwater | 123.2 | Zazzaro, Oliver, Patrick, Doubleday, Schneller |
Summary: WAC champ Fonda-Fultonville has been moving up lately and looks ready to repeat as S2-C champ. Bennett Melita also looks set to repeat at the top.

3 | Maple Hill | 111.0 | Leonidas Brewer, Civerolo, Basile, Wilson-Leedy |
Summary: Adirondack League champ Lake George looks like it has depth to win out over the other teams in S2-D. Reigning champ Cameron Abdella is expected to battle with Gabe Kalisz at the top.
