Class A
Summary
North Rockland has a lead in the projection, benefiting from their strong run at Section 1 Coaches. Abby Kowalczyk has a similar lead on the field individually, and should be considered highly likely to be making the trip.

Class B
Summary
This race is set to be a four-way battle, with every finish position possible to decide the race. Somers has the best top 3 in the race, but need to close their 4-5 gap to be in real contention. They led over Eastchester at the Westchester County Champs. Over in Rockland, Tappan Zee took down Pearl River by a margin of three points. There are two opposing views to take from this matchup. At Rockland, PR had their 4 runners ahead of TZ's 4th. That means TZ has two opportunities to improve their score in the deepest pack density, while Pearl River has only one. However, when we look at tie-breakers, we look to Bowdoin. Bear Mountain (revised) is a very different course. Back at the Section 1 Coaches, Pearl River had a significant gap on the field. It gives us the edge here in our picks. However, we fully accept that we could be wrong here, and TZ could repeat their win from Counties. That's why the races are run.

Class C
Summary
It's hard to nail down Pleasantville, after they ran an incomplete team at Counties. But they did run head-to-head with Bronxville at Section 1 Coaches, and the Bronco's had a healthy lead, so we're going with Bronxville for the win here.

Class D
Summary
Tuckahoe had a complete team at Counties, while North Salem didn't, so it's hard to compare. We'll go with Tuckahoe.
