Meet: AAA Girls State Meet Predictions Location: Elkins, WV Date: To be held October 28, 2000 Predicted AAA Girls Team Results Buckle your seatbelts. This is going to be a wild ride. The battle for the top spot should exceed even last year's in excitement because this time, there are three teams involved. Morgantown and Parkersburg have been at the top of the rankings all season long. East Fairmont battled through some injuries and have found themselves in the hunt to defend their title. This three way battle should keep the fans on their feet and the runners giving it their all. A close battle for fourth should ensue as well, as Elkins and Preston appear to be closely matched. Those two teams could find themselves in that top three mix as well if certain people perform above expectations. 1. East Fairmont EF 76 2. Morgantown Mor 80 3. Parkersburg PHS 81 4. Elkins Elk 94 5. Preston Pre 97 6. Cabell Midland CM 140 7. Hampshire Ham 142 8. Huntington Hun 195 9. Woodrow Wilson WW 253 Predicted AAA Girls Top 25 Rachel Carden pulled off a major upset at the Forest Festival, topping both Susan and Jennifer Davis. The Davis' learned a valuable lesson about foot apparel and the Elkins course that day and should be prepared to resume the top spots. Jennifer Davis won the state meet two years ago. Now Susan will get to join her in the record books. Carden should walk away with the number three position, but will have to hold off a challenge from the Elkins duo of Zaia Wharton and Ashley Varian to do it. Wharton and Varian displayed an excellent teamwork attack at the regional meet in obliterating the field.
