Easterns States Preview: Both Top 5 Avg Records Under Attack

Oct 10, 2023

Boys Eastern State Championships

Race Time: 2:44pm | 5-Man Average Record for VCP - 12:32.76 (FM in 2014)

Breakdown: This race is loaded with talent. Christian Brothers Academy have already won an NXN title, and that campaign ran through Manhattan. If they're looking to do it again, that path is the same, possibly with the individual win on the table as well. Barrett is undefeated in Invitationals this year, and beat out top rated Hergenrother at Bowdoin, before the latter went down and improved on the Great American course. Foot Locker finalist Tam Gavenas has played it more local, staying up in New Hampshire all season, and ready to return to the course that booked him his flight to San Diego. Behind CBA, Ridgefield looked strong in their second place showing at Great American, and we are looking for a tie-breaker between Auburn and Ithaca, both at one win a piece in head-to-head competition for the New York ranks.

Teams at the Top: CBA NJ (181.2), Ridgefield (175.2), Auburn (171.6), Ithaca (171.6), La Salle College (170.0), Boston College (169.0), St. Johnsbury Academy (166.0), Saint Anthony's (165), Salesianum (162.4), Ridge (162.4), Millikan (160.0)
