Chris --

I'd be interested to know why Lauren was 30th last weekend at her sub-section meet. And for that matter, why Fiona O'Keeffe was 11th.

I get that it is a qualifying meet so maybe not a hard effort. Still, kind of puzzling.

I will definitely pay attention to how she does this weekend. Thanks.

You're right about it not being a hard effort. I believe both Davis and St. Francis tend to take it pretty easy and run together at Sub Sections. If you look at the results you can see that both O'Keeffe and LaRocco finished with many of their teammates. Today will be an interesting race!

I certainly don't see her as California No. 1. (Keep in mind that while she may have the No. 1 time in the state for 5K, she is No. 28 in the 3-mile and she ran at Mt. SAC. So her true ranking is obviously somewhere in between).

She was seventh-fastest at Mt. SAC. She ran that very fast time at The Other Meet but I have a hard time believing the validity of that distance as 5K when so many PRd by so much. She could possibly be honorable mention, but I'd like to see more.


LaRocco definitely deserves more than an honorable mention. Mt. Sac, while still a good race, was not a one of her better performances. She ran 17:48 at the Bronco Invitational in Folsom at Willow Hill Reservoir. That's a very fast time for that course. Also,the course for The Other Meet IS a true 5k. The course has changed in the past, but the race directors always go over it many times to ensure it's validity. Her times are fast and legit.

Here's a course tour of Granite Regional Park, from start to finish. The Other Meet is held here. Full 5k

"been challenged yet."
---------------------
Abbie McNulty probably would have done that. They have a common opponent --Claire Howlett-- with pretty much the same w margin. I don't know much about the regional Nike venues, but they could meet there?

NEPSAC schools have a limited schedule. Shehadeh did beat some college runners and a talent in Samantha Glass for the preppy championship. Both could do well @ FL-NE. Barrett,Weisner,Reilly,Clahane,Shehadeh might look like an early top-5.

I actually spoke to Hannah earlier today.

She told me she stayed with the pack for about two miles but then tore off on one of the downhills. I guess there are a couple of hills and then the final mile or so is mostly down.

What is interesting about her -- like some of the other top girls -- is that they haven't really been challenged yet. Hannah thinks she could probably dig a little deeper, although she said New Englands was her biggest effort to date because she had a little bit of rest ahead of it.

"I feel like if there's somebody with me, I could probably push a little bit harder," she said.

Would love to see splits from DiBalsi at new England's. Video shows her running close to leaders at first post And then with a significant leader at the second Not sure exactly where on course video clips are from but the overall impression is that of a big surge in the middle of the race. Agree that field was exceptional this year with top ten including runners who were national class in track, from 800 to 5k, last spring. They all can't make it to the muddy Meadows or sunny Footlocker although RI girls are on teams, LaSalle and Barrington, who deserve a shot NXN. Northeast has too many good runners. New York and New Jersey results indicate an abundance of talent, but still a lot of racing left in NJ to pare down leaders before national qualifiers. Same for Mass.
There also seems to be plenty of quality in Pennsylvania for starters.
Nationally, however. I do not see anyone, except DiBalsi, displacing the current top six yet. She seemed to have a competitive fire at NBON and in interviews which belies her relative in experience compared to Baxter, Efraimson et al.
And is there another Abby D'Agostino hiding in the pack. After all Abby ranks 65th all time at Franklin Park in Boston.

That was a good girls' field and some very impressive times.

That's a 15-second course record of an Erin Sullivan record. Impressive stuff.

Very nice win--17:23-- for Megan Reilly in NY/ A. The So. beat some good people and will likely return to FL again. Depending on who runs at FL-E I can see some potential dominance of Fr/So's over upperclass.

I'd like to find a course record for Derryfield Park.

I have had Debalsi pretty highly rated all season. I think she is a Foot Locker candidate but I also think that Taylor Werner and Makena Morley are at the same level, even after today. Any of the three of them could win in San Diego (assuming the top 3 are going to be in Portland).
Bsarno1
The results are pouring Saturday... So many great performances.
Where does DeBalsi rank nationally after her 23 second win in New England. It may be hard to unseat the top 3. But looking at her progress, is it a top four now? She seems to be getting better week by week.

Smythington -- That would certainly be a great matchup. Any chance we'll see it at FL Regionals?


McNulty's team (Bishop Feehan) is pretty good once again this year, so I hope they don't match up at FL Regionals... NXN is the race to be at for the girls, anyways (Baxter, Efraimson, and probably Cranny?)

Too bad we won't see a DeBalsi showdown with the top few athletes this year. Maybe next time?
DougB
Debalsi is pointed toward Foot Locker. She's been upfront about that.

I'm not sure how much lobbying goes on at the Nike camp, although I'm sure it doesn't hurt.

But some certainly figure out what's best for them. Blake Haney, for instance, is going the Foot Locker route.

Not sure about Josette.

-------------------------------------
McNulty has indicated a desire to run NXN. DeBalsi went to Nike Camp. I'm not sure if there's a kind of implicate pressure on the dozen or so campers to run at NXN over FL, but it is a big deal to be invited there, so I would think people like Josette Norris will be running in Portland (even if they live across the bridge from VCP)?

It would be great if O'Keeffe and Maxwell ran against each other so we could really what happens. At Mt. SAC and Stanford they were in different races. Maxwell hasn't been beaten yet so I think she deserves some credit for that.


It is hard to stay unbeaten in a race with Baxter. In the CA state meets these girls will be in separate races. Too bad. Even between Nike and Brooks Maxwell may not meet Baxter.

O'keeffe was a couple of seconds faster than Maxwell at Mt. Sac behind Baxter and Ortega. One can quibble with any ranking, but O'Keeffe has only been beat by Baxter this year (at Clovis) and won against fast competition at Stanford and Mt. Sac.

McNulty #17 a RI'er who goes to school in Ma really would have given #6 DeBalsi all she could handle in (NE's) Manchester,NH. Instead she will be running for two more weekends in Ma (with little competition).

Good to see #16 M.Perez back and getting fit.

Overall the list looks pretty good, but I differ with the order of 1 and 2. Baxter's Mc SAC race is easy to understand, but Efraimson's race from 2 weeks ago requires analysis to put it into proper perspective.



Efraimson's meet two weeks ago? The Greater St. Helens League meet on the 23rd? Or are you referring to the Bill Dellinger meet from a month ago?

Look, I think Baxter deserves to be No. 1. I think even Alexa would probably agree, at least for the moment. But the trio at the top -- Baxter, Efraimson and Cranny -- is outstanding. Any one of them could win NXN and it wouldn't be a surprise.
