Sectional Rankings - Pre-Season

Still too early to do much moving up and down. A new Class D boys leader but everyone else stays on top. I'm keeping incomplete team in for now because there are still teams with runners that aren't eligible yet and should be soon. If they aren't complete by this weekend then they will most likely be taken off.

Class C

RK	Team	LW	Comments
1	Fonda-Fultonville	1	Solidified their #1 position with 29 point win at Blackbird. Running well right now but long season ahead.
2	Chatham	2	Sarro easily wins Blackbird but 9th place finish, even without Bartholomew, doesn't bode well.
3	Broadalbin-Perth	3	Only ran four at Shaker but will have fifth runner eligible soon. Lyons strong with 11th place at Shaker
4	Sch. Christian	4	Turner finished 8th at Blackbird but only ran four runners, will have a fifth eligible soon.
5	Voorheesville	6	Finished 11th at their own Invy. Holland looked good finishing 18th.

7	Cairo-Durham	7	Haven't run yet, so we'll have to wait and see.
8	Catskill	8	Only ran three runners at Blackbird but freshmen runners should fill the team up for dual meets.
9	Tamarac	9	Finished last at Blackbird but will probably move up soon when incomplete teams start to drop out of the ranks.

Class D

RK	Team	LW	Comments
1	Galway	2	Took 2nd at Blackbird, beating about BKW by five points. Daino looked good finishing 2nd. It's going to be a dogfight all season.
2	Berne-Knox-Westerlo	1	We'll see how they rebound after bring edged out by Galway. Going to Guilderland instead of Ft. Plain so BKW-Galway II will have to wait.
3	Duanesburg	3	Keeping them here for now even after finishing 6th at Blackbird. Mostly because of Csontos and Cashdollar going 1-2 easily in the Frosh race.
4	Greenwich	4	Didn't run last week. We'll see how they do at Fort Plain this weekend.
5	Berlin	10	Big jump after impressive 4th at Blackbird. Levens lead the team finishing 17th and nice pack with the top 5.
6	Maple Hill	5	Strong 5th place finish at Blackbird. Dukin solid finishing 9th but big breakthrough is Bazan's 10th place finish.
7	Hoosic Valley	9	8th place finish at Blackbird lead by the Karwiel's, Adam's 3rd and Ryan's 6th place finish.
8	Hawthorne Valley	6	Didn't run last weekend, usually open up at Fort Plain.
9	Hadley-Luzerne	7	Took the week off so we'll have to wait to see what they have.
10	Corinth	8	Also didn't run last weekend. We'll see how they do when they start up.
11	Mayfield	11	Usually run at Blackbird but didn't this year. We'll see if they run at Blackbird.
12	Mechanicville	13	Looked pretty good with a 10th place finish at Blackbird. Will probably move up in the rankings soon.
13	Schoharie	12	We'll have to wait until Fort Plain to see how they do. Didn't run last weekend.

Class B

RK	Team	LW	Comments
1	Holy Names	1	8th at Shaker, edging out Queensbury. Ohm looked good placing 8th but team ran without Sara Hardiwck.
2	Burnt Hills	2	Beat a tough Washingtonville team at Wizard Invy. Another title for Montgomery and took 3 out of first 4 placed. Tempted to move to number one but I'll wait.
3	Queensbury	4	9th at Shaker just behind Holy Names. Team usually starts off a little slow so they'll be more ready as the season goes.
4	Scotia-Glenville	5	I thought they should've been better than 12th at Shaker but frosh ran the frosh race. Schaub looked great finishing 3rd.
5	South Glens Falls	3	Ran incomplete at Shaker so I'm not sure what to do with them. Have to knock them a few down but they should be back soon.
6	Lansingburgh	6	2nd place at Blackbird with McDonough placing 6th. Tempted to move them up but couldn't drop Sough Glens Falls too far. We'll see what Ft. Plain will hold.
7	Averill Park	7	Didn't run last weekend. Run against Guilderland and Niskayuna today and Fort Plain Invy this weekend.
8	Mohonasen	8	Didn't run last weekend. Tough matchup against Shen and Colonie, then at Fort Plain Invy on Saturday.
9	Bishop Gibbons	9	7th at Blackbird Invy with Doherty finishing a solid 2nd. Open Big 10 against Schenectady today then run at Fort Plain this weekend.
10	Gloversville	10	Didn't run last weekend. We'll have to wait to see how they run at Fort Plain.
11	Cobleskill-Rich.	11	Took last weekend off. Open Colonial Council season today so we should see more of what they're made of.
12	Ichabod Crane	12	14th at Shaker last weekend and another tough one at Guilderland this Saturday.
13	Glens Falls	13	Ran dual meet against Mount Anthony last Saturday. Full team but needs improvement.
14	Schalmont	14	8th at Blackbird last weekend. Baggetta finishing 22nd is good but rest of team needs to improve.
15	Ravena	15	Only ran four runners at Blackbird so we'll see if they can get a fifth soon.
16	Hudson Falls	16	Haven't run yet so we'll have to wait and see.
17	Johnstown	17	See Hudson Falls but I heard that they're not complete.

Class C

RK	Team	LW	Comments
1	Chatham	1	Very impressive with their win at Blackbird with Coon finishing 3rd and four runners in the top ten. They're going to be tough to beat.
2	Cohoes	2	4th at Blackbird with Tomaro and Steciuk 10th and 11th place. Even if they get a solid 5th runner Chatham looks too tough.
3	Voorheesville	3	Solid 5th at their own Invy. 1st-5th gap was only 1:15 but still could use someone to step up as a number one.
4	Schuylerville	4	Still haven't run. Usually open at Fort Plain so we should see what they have there.
5	Fonda-Fultonville	5	Only ran three at Blackbird so we'll have to see if they can fill their lineup soon.
6	Granville	6	Still haven't run yet so we'll have to wait.
7	Tamarac	-	Finished 10th at Blackbird with some new faces. Rivers didn't stay to get her trophy though.
8	Broadalbin-Perth	7	Ran incomplete at Shaker with Rappleyea finishing 34th.
9	Catskill	8	Did I say full team last week? Only had three run at Blackbird so we'll have to wait and see
10	Greenville	9	Haven't run yet, will probably open up at Fort Plain
11	Cairo-Durham	10	Also haven't run yet. Have to wait to see how they do.

Class D

1	Argyle	1	Romped at Essex taking five out of the first seven places. Skipping Guilderland this year and waiting on Great American.
2	Galway	2	Solid 3rd place at Blackbird with Poissant finishing 8th. Won't beat Argyle but shouldn't drop from second either.
3	Berne-Knox-Westerlo	3	6th place finish at Blackbird as Domermuth romped to victory. Testing the waters at Guilderland next weekend.
4	Duanesburg	4	first three looked good at Blackbird but only ran four. Had two in the frosh race though that looked solid.
5	Maple Hill	5	9th at Blackbird with Saar finishing 16th. Step up since they ran incomplete last year.
6	Schoharie	6	Haven't run yet so we'll have to wait. Usually runs at Fort Plain.
7	Mechanicville	-	Finished last at Blackbird but considering they didn't have anyone returning, it's an improvement.
8	Berlin	7	Only had two runners at Blackbird so things don't look good. Hopefully they can fill their lineup.
