South SJS Combined Rankings

I said last night, "My long term goal would be to do rankings from a pool of StanCo, MerCo, south SJ County schools and foothill schools that comprise the CCAL, CCC,  WAC, VOL, TVL, MLL, SAL, CCAA and maybe MVL schools...that would be 64 schools." I also said, "I am not quite up for that yet."
 
So I did the Merced County rankings. It was pretty basic since the County has so few schools and the majority compete directly against each other in the CCC. Then what are my thanks? Someone wants me to combine the MerCo and StanCo rankings...hadn't I just covered my thoughts about that in the first paragraph???? 
 
Maybe I am just game for a challenge, bored in retirement, or simply a sucker for punishment, but here is my combined rankings for the 64 schools listed above. You will notice some discrepancies with these rankings and previous ones...more research changed my opinion. I leaned heavily on Athletic.net rankings at 5K and 3mi and on the recent Clovis Inv. and River Bluff results. Yes, I have seen everyone of these athletes compete this season.  I am still hoping that Rough Rider will clear up a lot of the/my confusion. I am not sure if all future rankings will cover this many teams. So enjoy (?) it now.
 
Don't agree? Tell me all about it in the comments; but if you have some serious criticism, man up and put your name on the comment.

    1. Those are your emotions talking and not actual time facts. Alex is still recovering from illness and seems to be a long way from 100%

  5. What makes you not put Roselynn Dominguez top 15? I’m sure there’s a reason, I’m just curious.

    1. I am not Scott, but your question made me curious and ran a quick ranking query on the 5K distance for girls, on athletic.net, under the Stanislaus District- Mod Bee rankings. The girl in question, albeit having a really good time for a freshman, her 5K time comes in 37th. Keep at it, no doubt that with time and hard work, she will be at the top in the coming years.

    2. This is SCOTT: You used a StanCo list and these ranking go far beyond that. she placed 3rd at CCAL 2 behind Carlson and Elle in her first varsity race. Her time would have her ahead of all WAC on the same course except Badea and Nguyen and all of TVL except Logsdon....you can not go solely off of 5K times when some ran Kim Duyst and other ran Woodbridge and most don't have that opportunity. That is the argument to have her on the list and it is a solid argument. But Logsdon is not on the list either and Roselynn is just not there yet. I would say she is 17/18 just off of the list right now. She could be all StanCo, top 10 StanCo by the end of the season.
