California Top to Bottom: San Francisco & Oakland Sections Returning Rankings

Mikolaj Krajewski may have to get outside the city to get strong competition - the Lowell senior has the top times San Francisco by over a minute in both rankings.


To a distance runner, the summer is the most important season.  This is when the true preparation is done, when the foundation is laid, when athletes and teams can start moving to another level.  Summer is also a time of preparation for MileSplitCA!  Starting Sunday, we're shifting into high gear to get ready for the 2016 cross country season. We start by gathering data on returning runners, using times from the 2015 season broken down by section.  We'll move across the state from top to bottom, starting with the Northern Section and ending with the San Diego Section.  We also have data from track season, which helps identify teams and individuals that have improved through year-round training.

All of this is in preparation for our Preseason XC Countdown, where we will highlight one boys and one girls team every day for 30 days.  That will take us up to the start of competitive fall races, and from there the athletes in the Golden State can take over and make their own new headlines!

Today's focus is the Northern Section, which has small schools but still produces some big individual talent.
