Predicted AAA Boys Team Results

Cabell Midland has once again proved to be the dominant force in AAA Cross
Country.  They have plowed through all in-state competition with ease
and should do so again.  The battle for second place will be much more
interesting.  Parkersburg South has been ranked second most of the season,
but we've learned that they will be without the services of Michael Antolini
whose lingering injury has finally gotten the best of him.  That should
make the battle with Elkins quite interesting.  We see Elkins coming out
ahead by the slimmest of margins.  With a strong day, Fairmont Senior could
climb all the way up to the second spot.  We see Jefferson rounding out
the top five.

1.  Cabell Midland		 50
2.  Elkins			107
3.  Parkersburg South		108
4.  Fairmont Senior		131
5.  Jefferson			147
6.  Nitro			175
7.  Parkersburg			176
8.  Preston			181
9.  University			185
10. Woodrow Wilson		204
11. Ripley			268
12. George Washington		291

Predicted Boys AAA Top 25

We're looking at Cabell Midland taking the top three overall spots.  Eric
Cooper and Jon Nelson have swapped the top spot in the individual rankings
several times throughout the season.  Cooper appears to have the edge on
flatter courses.  Greg Cooke was outstanding at the regional meet and could
unseat both for the title.  Steve Johnson has held the third spot in the
rankings for most of the season.  However, one of his worst showings came
at the Chick-fil-A Invitational.  Andy Franklin is a bit of a wild card.
Jefferson didn't run any of the major in-state meets, so comparisons are
a bit difficult.  Joseph White is rounding back into form after missing
a couple weeks in the middle of the season and could figure into the mix.
We're tabbing Tim Andrew, Chad Hooten, Bryan Talerico, and Jake Green for
the remaining All-State spots.
