Mid-Season Rankings

Ranking anything in cross-country is difficult in that teams don't run the same courses, on the same day, in the same temperature conditions...but I am up for the challenge. Keep in mind I based these rankings on results, my gut, and the "eye test." I may be the only person who has actually seen all of these athletes run this season. As I have said before, if you don't agree, please use this to spur you on to greater performances in the second half of the season. Keep in mind that the top ten males and females at the end of the season will make the "All StanCo Team."

2024 WEEK 6 Runners of the Week

Competition was pretty light this week with only 8 of the 23 team in action. As such i am only naming 2 Runners of the Week
ARMANDO GARCIA (Riverbank)--won MLL 1 in a time of 15:37 which led RBK to the lowest team score.
 
SAL VIRGEN (Denair) --placed 2nd at SAL 2 in a 5K time of 19:50, but led the Wolves to their first ever SAL team win.

2024 XC WEEK 6 (MML 1; TVL 2; Golden Eagle, Thunder)

Compared to last week this one had a lot less action but still some solid racing. 

WED 9/25 MLL 1 @ Lindon HS, Lindon
Competing StanCo Schools were Big Valley and Riverbank. Supposedly this "course" was 5K but the runners measured it on their watches at under 3 miles...so there is that. It was a road race on city/country roads and ended on the track at Linden HS. It was officially scored as head to head dual meets (why?) but I have included the invitational scores for some comparison (but those didn't matter)

WED 9/25 TVL 2 @ Mavis Stouffer Park, Ripon
Competing StanCo teams were Hughson and Orestimba. These races were 5K. The Hilmar girls take take the win on the strength of three frosh runners (and 2 sets of sisters). Unfortunately for the rest of the TVL I don't see anyone catching this group of Yellow jacket ladies. On the boys' side Hughson's depth pulls out another win for the Huskies.
