Girls Team Ranks
There is a little bit more clarity in the girls ranks, than there is the boys, at least at the top.
Bethlehem is good. They are running the Speed Rating equivalent to the 2014 Fayetteville-Manlius NXN-winning team. They are currently ranked #3 in the Country, with a good argument to be top-of-the-podium finishers. Their only weakness is the lack of a six runner in case of something happening up front, but that's less relevant on the home front.
Behind them, things get a little murky. On paper, Shenendehowa is the next best team. They won McQuaid, and then dominated at Burnt Hills. They did not run their full top five at Suburbans, which dropped them down the team placings. With their full lineup, they are a clear favorite to make it back to NXN, and place mid-pack. But they need their full lineup. Guilderland is much the same, not running their full squad at Suburbans. At their best, they are in the conversation. Saratoga rounds out the bunch, steadily improving, albeit with a very young squad. They keep getting better, and it may be enough to catch second place, but given the layout of the State Meet, only one of these four teams will be moving forward.
Section 3 hosts the next batch of teams. Manlius had their best team showing of the season at SCAC, and still only won over two other teams tied seven points back. FM, Auburn, and CNS all have problems in the fifth position, which become a liability in the bigger field at Feds, but should provide some comfort at the smaller field at States. Auburn is the best team in the Section through 3 runners, FM is the best through 4 runners, and CNS is the best compression team through 5 runners. The strength of the field helps determine which way this competition will go.
East Aurora rounds out the top teams in the State, and they continue to improve every week. Their most recent race has been their best, and it's the strategy of any team who's been to the big show before. Of the Top 10 teams in the State, more than half have made NXN in the past, in at least one gender, with East Aurora placing the highest without a win. That should come as no surprise. Expect them to continue to improve.
