Summary:  Syosset's winning streak in S8-A has rolled on for many years, but there could definitely be a strong challenge this year in a tough field. The main competition will likely come from East Meadow, and Syosset's better compression numbers may give it the edge.

Summary:   South Side is again the dominating force in S8-B, and with a fairly well balanced lineup, the Cyclones could be running for a state championship. Friends Academy's Aislinn Frazer was last year's winner, but this year she should have company from the South Side top duo of Cameron Coletti and Claire Bohan

Summary:  Wheatley won S8-C last year, but this year the team has little depth, and Oyster Bay simply has more runners. Cold Spring Harbor's Sofia Mulada has had a breakout sophomore season and should take the win.
