2025 Cross Country
Boys Pre-Season Preview |
Note: Projections are almost entirely based on best times, or adjusted, on the Queensbury Courses. I have no knowledge of any runners that may be out due to injuries or sickness so assume that every team is at full strength.
Boys: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D
Boys Class A: With Isenovski up front and a deeper second through fifth, Saratoga Springs looks to have the depth to take back the title after Colonie won it last year.Loos to be quite the battle for second with Guilderland, Shaker, Shenendehowa, and Niskayuna all in the mix. Indivudally, Colonie's Owen Conley is the defending champion and barely lost on a state championship but he should be heavily pushed by Saratoga's Thomas Isenovski and Bethlehem's Calvin Howard.

Boys Class B: C.B.A. snapped Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake's 10 year sectional streak last year but it looks to be the favorite again this year with a mostly young squad. Despite some graduation, C.B.A. should still be in the mix to challenge and Queensbury could also challege eventhough they lost two time champion Liam Davidson. Individually, Burnt Hills' Ethan owen has the top returning time with team mate Jackson Majewski right with him. Queensbury's Chris DiPlacido and C.B.A.'s Maverick Kentz should challege them for the title.
