| | This is awesome. Couldn't ask for a better recap of Northwood's first county title! |
|
Thanks for the recap 2018-10-28 20:21:54
| | Lots of seniors r gone. Wide open next year |

Coach 2018-10-28 22:27:00
| | This Friday @ 4A North Regionals - Northwood (Moco Champ) vs Dulaney (Bmore County Champ) vs Howard (Hoco Champ)
Should be a great Race! |
|
Don't believe me... 2018-10-28 22:44:33
| | Just watch. Paint Branch will beat them all. |
|
Northwood???? 2018-10-28 23:20:22
| | Wow, no one thought Northwood would win it this year. Whatever Coach Reumante is doing is magic!! |
|
Sup 2018-10-28 23:39:58
| | 4A North now better than 4A West cuz it looks like only 5 will qualify(wtf where is mervo). Northwood Dulaney currently dear even in virtual meet. Both r in a different league than PB and Howard. Well see who qualifies between Blair and Sherwood |
|
Sup 2018-10-28 23:40:54
| | Bruhhh. Most thought Northwood would be a contender if not the champion this year. Still remarkable tho because last year they weren’t that good |

Way too Early 2019 predictions 2018-10-29 09:29:48
| | Looking ahead towards next year.
Richard Montgomery
Had an really off day Saturday, but if Garrett Suhr is healthy, he is undoubtedly the favorite for the individual title. With Nick Olano, and XC debutants in Aidan Goldenberg-Hart and Rafael Berhanu, RM has got 4 returners under 17.
Sherwood
Based solely off the Saturday's results, they return 1 and 2 for next year with Jack Anderson and Sean Enright, and the best team(by 1 point over WJ). They desperately need to close the gap, but we'll see what times(likely PRs on a solidly fast course) they can post this Friday.
Blair
Pretty much only losing Cannuscio and Davidoff, Joel Simpson, a sophomore who did not run Saturday, will lead the team with junior Gabriel Worthington. They will be in a fight to qualify for states against Sherwood at 4A North.
WJ
Have a solid gap, but they must move up their pack. They are only losing Yepez-Lopez, and can be dangerous next year. We'll see how junior Jacob Marks can lead the team.
BCC
Similar story to WJ. Have them on here simply because of their pedrigree. They consistently have breakout runners each year, looking at Smyth, and to a lesser extent, Madrigal.
Other Individuals to watch for
Surafel Mengist(Springbrook)
Lamar Wilson(Northwood)
Sam Bodmer(Poolesville) |

| | Northwood woulda won without their top 2... |

| | 4a north boys is the best region in the state. The 2-5 teams at states may all come from there with Dulaney howard Northwood and pb. Small case might be made for arundal to break into that but only if 1-3 run to their potential. |
|
Person 2018-10-29 22:20:41
| | Also, to the comment above Northwood would not win without 1-2 ... they lose to pb 126-136
Moco as a county is down this year compared to years past. Both boys and girls, especially boys |
|
Wayment 2018-10-29 23:14:21
| | Whoever says moco is down this year as a county needs to dig their head out of the sand. The only fast meet ran by any teams this season has been Great American, the rest were muddy slug fests. Don’t hate on the county and give props to Northwood and the rest of the teams that competed. |
|
Interesting 2018-10-30 08:09:36
| | @Person -
You only did half the math. Take eldad and obsaa out of the race and move every finisher up 2 spots. PB goes 1,6,18,19,82,(90) while NW goes 14,20,21,26,45,(59). Both add to 126 but NW wins tiebreak |

Asking mocorunning 2018-10-30 19:51:40
| | Mocorunning or anyone that knows, how many teams r qualifying out of 4A north boys considering mervo has not run a race yet |
|
mans 2018-10-30 21:28:25
| | season times would've been faster and teams would've been deeper than last year if the conditions for most races weren't so crappy this season |
|
Person 2018-10-30 22:23:50
| | 11 teams are entered in 4a north so 6 will qualify. The city does a poor job at posting results during the season.
As far as the conditions, paint branch was 4th at spiked shoe and 5th at barnhart? Not terrible but I would expect the second best boys team in the county to be better than that. And for the girls wj is way down this year ( but and unbelievable run the last 4-5 years) and after Whitman and Wooten it’s a big drop off.
How many teams will moco have top 5 in the state for any classification? Northwood boys and Whitman girls for sure. Anyone else is a bubble at best |
|
Asking Person 2018-10-30 22:26:57
| | How do u know mervo has posted results. Also, they may not have had 5 people run this year. |
|
I wish I was in 4A South 2018-10-30 22:32:04
| | I wish I was in 4A South. 4A North looks like the region of death this year though, mostly cuz they have less available spots. 4A North moco teams and individuals did much better in counties. |

Some one who has beat Obssa 2018-10-31 11:13:16
| | I think Northwood is overrated, They got two elite runners who will be gone next year and the school won't be that good anymore again. |

Nobody 2018-10-31 16:35:05
| | Nobody thought that Paint Branch was #2 in the county before the meet. It was a combination of them trending upwards big time and runners from Whitman, Wootton and Richard Montgomery stinking up the joint in the mud. Things will be different when it is 70 degrees and sunny (literally the weather will be great) at the 4A west meet, but you won't see how they compare to Northwood and PB again until the state meet. Keep thinking MoCo is down and spelling Wootton wrong. MoCo will have 7 to 8 teams in the 4A top ten like always. |
|
@nobody 2018-10-31 17:58:44
| | Paint branch did so well because Ezra Dessie came out of nowhere. He had a crazy breakout race. |
|
person 2018-10-31 19:04:12
| | Moco should have 7-8 teams since it makes up almost half of the teams in 4A. Especially since PG is so bad a fourth of the teams in 4A never factor in. Unfortunately moco boys teams top 10 finishes have been trending down. The last 5 years have been 7(2013), 6(2014), 6(2015), 5(2016), 5(2017) and the majority of those top 10 places have been in the 6-10 spots. Moco has had its years of dominance, and will have solid teams/years going forward, im just saying this year isnt one of them. |
|
Person 2018-10-31 19:08:36
| | As far as the 4A North Mervo question, I have seen the entries. Mervo girls have 7 entries boys have 5. I have no idea where their results are but I am assuming Chad Boyle has confirmed them somewhere since you need to run 2 to compete. |
|
Nobody 2018-10-31 19:08:37
| | Yes, no doubt but PB was more than just Dessie. TPaint Branch shouldn't be measured by what they were a month ago and other teams shouldn't be measure by what they were at the county championship if a runner was missing or finished 40 places behind where they were projected to finish. Finishing that far behind their season-long ranking probably means they fell or had a tough go not reflective of their fitness. |
|
Optimism 2018-11-02 18:42:05
| | Let’s get some POSITIVITY in here. Moco is the best county ever. Northwood is unreal. Paint branch is lit. Whitman is outstanding. Wooten is the bomb. Richard Montgomery is stellar. YEAH |
|
4a north is loaded 2018-11-02 19:19:58
| | Northwood and paint branch looked good today. Great race alongside Howard and dulaney. Should be a fun state meet ! |
|
We can all agree on something 2018-11-03 16:24:57
| | At least the announcer said all the names right this year |
|
no he didn't 2018-11-04 12:56:32
| | he pronounced the Mulugetas Mu-gote |
