Who to compare

Skuban led Datta by 55.6 seconds at Pete Matzke on October 2 (16:51.5 to 17:47.1). Datta reversed the order in the same seeded race at Marathon on October 17, winning in 16:47.9 to Skuban’s 16:56.6, an 8.7-second gap.

STAC small-school boys is the immediate rematch. Both also enter the Class C sectional discussion, where Afton-Harpursville-BG’s Owen Degan adds a strong non-STAC challenger.

Explore: Nikhil Datta.

STAC awards large-school and small-school titles. Section IV uses Classes A–D, so league rivals can separate at sectionals. This is a Confluence watchlist based on published results and seeds, not a final sectional entry list. Race places belong to their own divisions. Different XC courses and distances are not directly comparable.

Sources: Section IV published result history, October 22 conference seeds and the linked meet reports. Times keep the precision in the reviewed result history. Course distances are shown only where identified in the meet materials. 2026 Section IV handbook. Final entries and later timer corrections take precedence.
