Summary: It's almost silly how strong this group of teams is, but Saratoga will likely win its 12th Sectional title in a row with 7 runners plugged into the top 10. Lizzie Predmore of Shen is the big favorite for the individual title, with Taylor Driscoll and Estela Smith of the Blue Streaks close behind.

Summary: Burnt Hills has 4 runners in the top 7, and the Spartans appear to have enough of a margin over a very strong Holy Names team to earn their 2nd Sectional title in a row. Dani Martino leads a group of fairly evenly matched runners in the battle for the individual crown.
Class C
Fast Teams: Greenwich (119.8), Fonda-Fultonville (86.8), and Maple Hill

Summary: Greenwich can take on any team in S2 except Saratoga and possibly win. They will win their 8th straight SQ by a huge margin and then go on for another duel with Bronxville at States. The Witches' Tori Houser and Granville's Alicia Clark should battle it out for the individual crown.
Class D
Fast Teams: Berne-Knox-Westerlo (88.8), North Warren (61.0)
Fast Runners: Courtney Tedeschi 116 (BKW), Megan Erickson 110 (NW), Kiera Warner 91 (NW), Allie Tedeschi 90 (BKW), Sarah Montgomery 76 (Mayfield), Abby Swint 71 (BKW), Ciara Fisher 67 (Duanesburg)
Summary: Berne-Knox-Westerlo escaped the Witches' clutch up in Class C by jumping down to Class D in 2011, and they seem slated to win their first Sectional crown behind the Tedeschi sisters, with Courtney favored for the individual crown.
