It is easy to get caught up in how cross-country teams do against the larger sample size of major invitationals on Saturdays.

After that, the league finals races will determine the field of the CIF Southern Section Preliminaries. To take a look at how those races might turn out, here are some of the latest results posted by local cross-country teams against their league rivals.
