OK. First time I've updated the CC blog in a long time. I'm putting this up here so you guys can peruse it prior to our end of the school year meeting.
Here is the deal. We have a good top 2. 2 guys should be able to get in there and be frontrunners at the section meet. Unfortunately, about 5 other teams also have at least 2 good frontrunning types. Christian Brothers, Bret Harte, Calaveras, Sonora, and Riverbank all will have 2 guys who could be in the top 10 at the section meet. So, our front runners are going to be a bit neutralized.
How do we win then?
We have what only one other team has: Depth. I believe we have AT LEAST 14 guys who could make our top 7 squad at for the championship season. I also believe that we will have the best #7 man in the section and likely the best #5 man in the section.
If we are going to win, we will win because our #3, #4, #5, men are better than everyone elses' runners at the same position. and we will win because our #6, and #7 men jump ahead of some other teams #5 and act as displacers.
Don't get me wrong point #1, Our #1 and #2 are as good as anybody else's. They could potentially go 1-2 at the section meet. Daniel is the #2 returner from last years meet and Logan is a total wild card who could be better than everybody....or he could be in Virgina by that point.
Don't get me wrong point #2 We are not the only team that has depth. Christian Brothers, right now, looks like they will be the strongest team in the section by far. They have good front runners and they have 4 more guys who are not that far back from their front guys. If we are going to beat them, we need to have a great summer and continue to progress. We can beat them. We just have to work to do it.
2015 Progression
You'll have to forgive me, but Google Docs keeps sticking in a mystery #1 above Christian Brothers in my rankings. I assure you, there are no better teams in our division at this time.
