Location:	Mineral Wells, WV
Date:		To be held October 29, 2005

Predicted A-AA Boys Team Results
Ravenswood is basically a lock to win its 6th title in a row.  They should
have five in before anyone else gets in three.  Doddridge is pretty solidly
in 2nd.  The most likely team to knock them off is Charleston Catholic who
has improved dramatically late in the season.  Ritchie could move up a spot
as they always run well at the end of the season.  Tucker and Keyser will
battle for the fifth spot.  Independence or Wheeling Central could take that 
spot from both of them.

1.  Ravenswood		 29
2.  Doddridge		 85
3.  Charleston Catholic	105
4.  Ritchie		117
5.  Tucker		159
6.  Keyser		166
7.  Independence	186
8.  Wheeling Central	188
9.  Grafton		201
10. PikeView		215
11. Shady Spring	237

Predicted Boys A-AA Top 25
Once again, the LKC is providing much of the upper echelon, with 4 of the top
five ranked runners coming from that conference.  Andrew Benford comes in as
the obvious favorite.  He turned a 15:52 at the Chick-Fil-A Invitational.  That
puts him at around 30 seconds better than everyone else in the field.  Someone
may come closer, but if he's healthy, he won't be beat.  Of course, things
like that have been said before and turned out to be incorrect.  Zac Noel
looks to take the 2nd spot.  Ben Wise is the favorite for 3rd.  Levi Grandt
and David Orejuela should round out the top 5.  The 2nd through 5th spots
could land in any order.  Orejuela has beaten both Noel and Wise.  Grandt
has beaten Orejuela on several occasions.  Brian Wilson is definitely a 
threat to crack into that lineup.  He came on strong late last season and
appears to be doing the same thing this year.  Brandon Miles battled illness
through the middle part of the season and is just starting to get back to
form.  Still, considering his finish last year, he's obviously a threat to
get into the top 5.  Chris McGhee has been solid all season long.  James
Sheridan should score a top 10 finish.  Skyler McCoy looks to round out the
top 10, though any of the top 15 are realistic candidates for top 10 spots.
