East Aurora has a new runner ... Sophia Tasselmyer (who finished 2nd at the State Meet in Class B while running for Starpoint high school) has transferred to East Aurora, and apparently, NXN is going to let her run for the East Aurora team; therefore, I included her in the team projection above .... I believe it's a poor choice on the part of NXN to allow any runner to compete for a team at NXN that was never eligible to compete for that team during the official XC season ... Sophia Tasselmyer was eligible and did compete for Starpoint HS during the official NY season (not East Aurora); despite transferring to East Aurora immediately after the State Meet, she would not have been eligible to compete for East Aurora at the Federation meet (and it doesn't matter because East Aurora skipped Feds) ... But it's Nike party, so they make the rules despite what's posted on their web-site.
The Saratoga girls have run both
very good and bad races this season ... IF Saratoga runs well,
they are the choice to finish 2nd (barely over East Aurora) ...
Should Saratoga finish 3rd and not run at a level equal to
their better performances of the season, they will probably not
get selected as an "At-Large" team because there appears to be sentiment
amongst some committee selectors to exclude teams dominated by junior
high runners
... Currently, the Monarch CO girls are pretty much a certain selection
as an "At-Large" team (and I expect two California teams as well) ...
Whoever finishes 3rd and 4th here MUST run well.
Individual Race ... Looks competitive ... Five of the top nine ranked runners are running at Footlocker Northeast ...
