Summary:   Winning at Monroe County is not always a sign of who will win S5-A, but even without the services of one of the guys who helped lead them to the big win in the McQuaid Premier race a month ago, Fairport appears to be the strongest team here, with both the high level guys and the depth to support a run to the title. Reigning champ Webster Thomas is not far behind, but the Titans do not have the depth needed if any of their top 5 has an off day. Connor Thomas is the lead returner from last year's race, and Jack Pasalugo has the highest ratings.

Larson, Cushman, Burke, Ross, Yates
Summary:  Reigning champ Pittsford Mendon is in a dogfight with McQuaid, and the two teams have the same basic speed rating. Again it is the compression factor that comes into play, as McQuaid's 1-5 split behind Collin Brown is at 50, while PM has a much more manageable 34. If both teams run to form, the victory should go again to the Vikings. Collin Brown finished 3rd last year and is the top returner and top rated runner in S5-B.

Summary:  Arkport appears to have gotten a key runner back, and Bloomfield-Naples have some high flyers at the top, but Oakfield-Alabama has the numbers and the depth to win here. Arkport and the returned runner (Pierce Young) were the 2021 champs. OA's Connor Domoy is running at the top this year.
