Meet:  		AAA Girls State Meet Predictions
Location:	Mineral Wells, WV
Date:		To be held October 30, 2004

Predicted AAA Girls Team Results

Morgantown looks nearly unbeatable with 5 of the top 14 girls in the
individual rankings.  Preston has an excellent team as well with 5 of the
top 25.  Elkins appears to be well behind the other two but is still a
strong team.  Elkins could score a little better if Erika Thompson runs.
She didn't run the Conference or Regional Meets, so she was left off the
State Meet predictions.  North Marion should make the top 4 a sweep for
the NCAC but will have to hold off Cabell Midland and Parkersburg who both
have their eyes on squeezing out a top 3 finish.

1.  Morgantown		 32
2.  Preston		 54
3.  Elkins		 95
4.  North Marion	112
5.  Cabell Midland	118
6.  Parkersburg		119
7.  Jefferson		159
8.  Hedgesville		220
9.  South Charleston	275
10. George Washington	284

Predicted AAA Girls Top 25
Keri Bland has knocked off Claire Berryman each time they have raced this
season including a resounding win at the Regional Meet.  However, Berryman 
always performs well on the Cross Country big stage and will make this 
a very close race and could repeat as champion.  Amber Riley has stepped
up late in the season and looks fairly solidly in third.  Heather Saffel
had an outstanding regional race and finished right behind Riley at the
NCAC conference meet.  Kaylyn Christopher has been strong throughout the
season and is eyeing a top 5 finish.  Ahna Lewis was 2nd last year and
has the upward potential to finish in the top 3.  Lauren DeMarco won the
Chick-Fil-A Invitational and finished 3rd at the Mountaintop Combo.  She's
fallen off a bit since but is clearly capable of running with the lead
group.  Maria Dalzot was 2nd two years ago and is capable of moving up.
Molly Stevens won handily at her Conference and Regional Meets.  Aubrey
Moskal looks to hold off a host of others for the final All-State spot.
There are numerous girls who could legitimately climb into the top 10.
Here is the predicted top 25.
