Here are some other contributions from our panelists:
TEAM COMMENTS
� Jesuit - tight packs at Clovis and Mariner should dominate
SJS D2
� Davis - Well back in a deep Mt Sac Super Sweeps field...
� Oak Ridge - Sizzling at Mt Sac
� Fairfield - Heat win at Mt Sac for Coach Monk's supercrew
� Del Campo - Depth a big advantage in upcoming battles with
Del Oro
� Del Oro - Top 3 runs great in heat at Mt Sac, but can they
hang with DC?
� Woodcreek - Solid #4 in Division 2, but unlikely to have enough
to move up
� Rocklin - A good year overall for last years #4 in state D2,
especially considering seniors they lost
� Colfax - Clear favorites in D4 IF a strong #5 emerges
� Placer - Healthy...and dangerous in D3
� Riverbank - rumor mill says German will reappear (which he
did) ...probably still not enough to challenge Colfax
� Modesto - Low-key but well-coached
� Elk Grove - nice team time even without Dukes brothers at Mt
Sac
� Kennedy - solid up-and-coming program

Disclaimer:These
team and individual rankings are my best guess as to how teams and individuals
are looking after the first two months of this season. Big meet performances
(Clovis, Mt. SAC), and overall consistency were taken into account.
Hard work, injuries, transfers, etc. will change all of these rankings
by next poll and, definitely, by sections.
