2018 Sac Joaquin Section Contenders - Distance Events

As was the case with the Central Section, where our Contenders preview series opened, the Sac Joaquin Section gets 3 athletes per event into the CIF State Championship in June (unless athletes meet the 2018 at-large standards). Traditionally, the SJS is one of the most competitive regions in the country and is often second only to the Southern Section within the boundaries of California. This year looks like no exception because the talent pool is deep! Flip through the slides to see my picks for the most likely athletes to grab those coveted tickets to Clovis this May.
