In the varsity girls race, the Redondo juggernaut looks pretty unstoppable. The only team with any chance for an upset is steadily improving Mira Costa.
The varsity boys title looks good for clear favorite in Palos Verdes. But, West seems to be getting stronger every week, the Redondo boys are hungry for a major win, and depending on the placement of the top individuals from the Peninsula and Mira Costa teams, the scoring may be skewered enough to produce an upset.

Redondo's freshman boys team is the favorite going into this meet. The Palos Verdes boys are the only real threat for an upset, and considering that the race will be on their home course, it will be interesting to see what happens.

The junior varsity girls race should prove to be a contest between Redondo who won the first race and Mira Costa who won the second. As in the varsity girls division, no others will challenge these two teams.
It's hard to imagine any team getting the better of the Peninsula junior varsity boys, as they've been completely dominant in the first two meets. Last time out they put all 5 scorers in among the top nine finishers.
The Bay League Finals will be held this Thursday Nov. 4th starting at 1:15 pm with the non-scoring Novice race.
