North Coast Section XC Season in Review

BOYS TEAM OF THE YEAR


This section did quite well at the state meet with three teams finishing in second place in their respective division. The Campolindo boys rallied for a late-season charge that culminated with a section title and a second place finish in the state Division III final. TheSir Francis Drake boys won the MCAL team title for the second year in a row but were unable to compete at the section final. They more than made up for the missed opportunity with a second place finish in the state Division IV final. The Lick-Wilmerding boys also won their league team championship (BCL West) but were unable to compete at their section final. They rolled to a second place finish in the state Division V race. All impressive efforts but in the end, the best team in the section was Dublin. They absolutely smashed the Hayward HS course with 15:08 average and 28-second 1-5 spread. They just missed the podium in the uber-competitive Division I state final but recorded the fastest team time of any Northern California team.
