The beauty of subsections is that everyone (varsity) is running on the same course on the same day. So for once the comparisons are head to head. What I can't take into consideration is those athletes who are ailing (and there seemed to be many). Since everyone ran the same 3 mile (the rain course, even though there was no rain) course I have combined the results.

My take aways/comments from the girls' races:
Out of the 20 D1 schools only 13 fielded full girls teams. The result was that D1 was by far the easiest large school division to qualify in. In D2 Daizy Gonzalez ran 20:32 and did not qualify. In D1 Madison Sangutnetti ran almost a minute and a half slower than Daizy and qualified (I am not try to lessen Madison's accomplishment--I am merely trying to point out how unbalanced the divisional qualifying can be). Pitman was the fastest team from StanCo and 20th best on the day (missing their #3 girl BTW) and that was only good enough for 11th in D2. Qualifying in D2 was the toughest! However no StanCo team in the top 20 teams tells me what I already knew, this is a down year for local girls. There is very little depth.

Central Catholic is likely the only girls team with a shot to qualify for State. Fmura and Wolfe should make it to State as individuals. Benham, Day, Leach, and Cook have shots to make it. However especially in D2 (Leach and Day) some of the teams weren't running to their full potential, so a 14th place might really be a 24th place...they will need to have perhaps the races of their lives to qualify.

My take aways/comments from the boys' races:
Oakdale, Central Catholic, and Hughson will likely win at SJS. Has StanCo ever won three of the 5 boys' SJS divisions??? Beyer should qualify, they were third with #1 Nate Olsen ailing.. 4 boys' teams plus CC girls making four full teams qualifying would be awesome. It is going to be near impossible for any individual StanCo boy to qualify for State...unless Beyer doesn't get in as a team, their top boys would qualify as individuals.
Oakdale placed their top 5 boys in the top 7 for StanCo. Their #6 and 7 who are never talked about finished in the top 20 for the County. They are the best StanCo team EVER!!! No question about that anymore. The only question that remains is will they all put together their best races when it counts the most at State. I can't wait to be there to see!
Just like with the ladies, qualifying in D1 was far easier than in D2. D3 is beefed up this year as some former D4 teams moved up. But that clearly weakened D4 boys...maybe the weakest I've seem it in 10 odd years. If Oakdale boys weren't so eye-poppingly amazing, we would be all talking about Hughson. The senior laden Huskies may be the best team they have ever produced. They won Subs without #2 runner Joe Lighthall. If they can get him back for State they may be able to crack the top 10.
Central Catholic qualifying both boys and girls teams for State would be an amazing accomplishment for a school that has had a ton of success at football. Perhaps their XC success will turn some heads and allow the program to continue to grow in an upward direction.
