In case you missed it, I believe this Arvada West team sent a message at Dave Sanders on Friday. Colorado Track XC file photo by Alan Versaw.
As meet merges go, merging the results from Dave Sanders is probably attended with fewer assumptions than most. Races go off at a pretty rapid clip at Dave Sanders, thus reducing the variables that make comparisons between races difficult.
Not surprisingly, a very good Fort Collins team rolls as will through this merge as they did through the Division 1 race itself. Evergreen gets a little bump from Brandon Swenson moving up into their team scoring (and Evergreen still has not run five meets this season, so Swenson has more time on the sub-varsity roster yet to spend). Arvada West makes a serious case that they're a better team than the rankings to date have given them credit for being. And, Mountain Vista's B team checks in at #5.
Here is your complete merged scoring tally:
