Girls State Previews

 

Top Team: Fayetteville-Manlius

Challengers: Its a safe bet to say FM and Saratoga will be on the medal stand.  In what order is still undecided, but it is heavily favored to go the way of the Hornets.  The Sectional Merge below indicates that FM may even get their top 5 in the top 15.

Section 2 Saratoga Springs

Breakdown: Jillian Fanning is the top returning athlete, but has been hampered with leg issues all season.  A head cold hampered further at Sectionals, but she looks to be healthy heading into championship season.  However, even at full strength, there is a healthy plate of competition vying for the top spot.  Every one of the girls in the top ten here have significant wins in huge invitationals, and will be a great race to watch.

Class B

Team

Top Team: Academy of the Holy Names

Challenger: Two teams clear the rest, but Holy Names has the top end to score the single digit points.  East Aurora may have some more depth behind them, pack runners at heart, but Holy Names has been consistently #3 in the state.

Class C

Team

Top Team: Bronxville

Challenger: Not without its fair share of controversy, Bronxville has been consistently strong after losing it's top two returners.  Many other teams here are aided here by a solid front runner, but the broncos will use their depth to keep their scores low.

Section 6 Fredonia

Class D

Team

Favorite: Maple Grove

Challengers: Coming into the season, Greenwich dropping down to D looked to bring a serious threat to Maple Grove's winning streak.  However, over the season, the dragons have consistently proven they are the top team in the state for Class D.

Section 1 Haldane
Section 2 Greenwich
Section 3 South Lewis
Section 4 Candor
Section 5 Notre Dame Batavia
Section 6 Maple Grove
Section 7 Seton Catholic
Section 9 SS Seward

Madeline Montague Greenwich
Tori Spiezio Greenwich

Courtney Tedeschi BKW
Megan Marsh Maple Grove
Margaret Champagne Seton Catholic
Shealyn Doody Red Jackey
Gabby Thompson Immaculate Heart

          

Breakdown: Erin McConnell is one of the top 10 girl runners in the state overall.  She will look to control the field from the start, but Hope Pietrocarlo is fast enough to challenge.
