It's still a week before Marilyn Sepulveda, but 5A boys is taking some serious shape.
Cleveland is, of course, out front--make that way out front--but you may find a surprise here and there in how the other teams are lining up:

The battle here figures to come down mostly to a battle for second. Cleveland just has too many weapons to have much of an air of vulnerability.
Keep in mind that the scoring system used above gives more weight to individual events than the NM state scoring system. A big set of relays here could cover a lot of ground and move other teams into competition with Cibola for that second spot. Nobody on the above list seems especially overcommitted in terms of events, so there's no ground to be gained or lost down that road.
