Teams: Marcus Whitman (151.86), Clymer-Sherman-Panama (148.14)
Breakdown: One of the State's top underclassmen leads the field here, as Hill is the top returner from this race a year ago. Four seconds behind a year ago was Edsall, however, and the tide could turn one year later.

Teams: Ausable Valley (137.37), Eden (125.16), Fredonia (121.50)
Breakdown: It's been a breakout year for Zittel, finishing third in both of his last major races. Racing against competition in his class size at McQuaid, he's looking to upgrade to gold this outing.

Teams: Hamburg (158.92), Honeoye Falls-Lima (144.03)
Breakdown: The strongest fight of the undercard races, Sam Clark and Henry Peterson are going to bring some Section 6 rivalry to the glen. not to be outdone, Hamburg is sending Jacob Mason to join in, all three of those athletes capable of grabbing the win here.
Race 22 - AAA
Individuals: Thomas Steele (McQuaid) - 173.67, Porter Gilliland (Lakewood, OH) - 172.80, Noah Moran (Lockport) - 171.59, Patrick Rinefierd (Fairport) - 168.70, Eli Strobert (Brighton) - 167.05, Jack Pearson (Brighton) - 166.52
Teams: Brighton (161.17), McQuaid (154.38), Fairport (153.18)
Breakdown: The home team takes on the top returner in the final race of the day for boys varsity. Thomas Steele is looking to represent McQuaid well, and has a little bit of a buffer heading in, but Lakeland didn't travel a full state over to just give them the win. Expect a big race here.
