|
| 2 | Fonda-Fultonville, Schalmont | Fonda has a decent gap on the field here. |
| 3 | Vernon-Verona-Sherrill, Westhill, Mexico | VVS is the home team for States, and are the early favorites to represent on the starting line. |
| 4 | Oneonta, Lansing, Chenango Valley | A dead heat here in the typically small race, means every runner matters. |
| 5 | Marcus Whitman | A gap on the field here |
| 6 | Alden, East Aurora, Southwestern | Alden could very well be the State Champs, and could prevent another Top 3 team from making the trip. |

| 8 | Oyster Bay, Cold Spring Harbor | OB has a gap on the field here, looking at the bigger picture. |
