2025 Merced County Rankings

My long term goal would be to do rankings from a pool of StanCo, MerCo, south SJ County schoosl and foothill schools that comprise the CCAL, CCC,  WAC, VOL, TVL, MLL, SAL, CCAA and maybe MVL schools...that would be 64 schools. I am not quite up for that yet.

 

But because I was asked to, here are my Merced County rankings...but before I do there are some huge difference between the 2 counties. 1. there are only 14 high school in Merced County vs 23 in StanCo. 2. Six of the 14 schools compete in the CCC. 3. Two of the MerCo schools do not have XC teams and another one of the school competes in the Central Section...In other words ranking MerCo leans heavily to CCC results with some TVL sprinkled in the mix. I used 3mi and 5K rankings from Athletic.net primarily. As I said with the StanCo rankings if you don't agree tell me about it but justify your comment. Still not happy? Then use it to fuel your future efforts...show me that I am wrong.
