Who to compare

Degan won the BGAH Invitational on October 10 in 16:17.0. Class D’s Lewis ran 17:13.9 in Marathon’s seeded race. Favinger won Whitney Point on October 20 in 17:47.7. These races and fields differ.

Degan belongs in the Class C conversation with Datta and Skuban. Lewis, Favinger and Elmira Notre Dame’s Meier are Class D names to follow. Final sectional entries govern participation.

Explore: Jaden Lewis, Jake Favinger, Gavin Meier.

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.
