Meet: AAA Girls State Meet Predictions Location: Elkins, WV Date: To be held October 27, 2001 Predicted AAA Girls Team Results If the young ladies from Elkins perform as they have throughout the season, the 2001 title is theirs for the taking. However, if they falter, Morgantown and Parkersburg are not far behind. Parkersburg ran exceptionally well in last year's state meet, and if they have a repeat performance this year, they'll certainly be in the hunt. If any runner from any of these three teams falters, they could be eliminated from the title chase. Fairmont Senior has been coming on strong late in the season and could fight for a spot in the top three. East Fairmont should claim the fifth spot, but will be challenged by University, Cabell Midland, and Preston. 1. Elkins Elk 56 2. Morgantown Mor 82 3. Parkersburg PHS 96 4. Fairmont Senior FS 110 5.

Ripley Rip 260 Predicted AAA Girls Top 25 The individual title should be an exciting race. Morgantown seems to have had a firm grasp on the top spot throughout the season with Karen Wigal dominating early and Leah Erenrich taking over at mid-season. Elkins has a foursome of ladies who could factor into the top of the standings, led by Freshman Erika Thompson, who held the top spot in the Individual Rankings for a short period late in the season. A dark horse candidate to take the title is Fairmont Senior's Kayla Wolfe, who has been running well and gaining ground as of late. University's Maria Stover cannot be ignored as she scored a substantial victory over Erenrich and Wigal earlier in the season.
