Getting caught up, there was little local XC Invite action in week eight, with only last Friday’s Apache Invite attracting the SGV schools. But there were a number of early league finals, including the Camino Del Rey Association and the Prep League locally, plus County meets in other part of the Southern Section to move the rankings.
The Glendora boys returned to the rankings and earned an at-large bid with a nice effort at the Apache meet, which they made moot with solid performance at the Baseline Finals on Tuesday. So far, only the Poly boys have needed their at-large status to advance – the traditionally strong Prep League has only four boys schools so only gets two automatic places. Besides the Tartans, the El Rancho, South Pasadena, and San Marino boys achieved at-large status this week. The success of other schools bumped the Los Altos boys and Pomona Catholic girls, who did not compete this week, back out of the rankings
Full rankings with commentary are here.
