Note:  These predictions were made on the assumption that
the runners who performed in the Regional Meets will be
the same ones who perform at the State Meet.

Coaches, if your State Meet lineup is going to be different
than your Regional Meet lineup, please let us know so we
can adjust our Predictions accordingly.  

Example 1:  If you only ran six runners at Regionals, such as
Magnolia's Boys Team, but will be running seven at the State
Meet, please let us know who that seventh runner will be.

Example 2:  Joe and Jenny Shmoe were sick on the day of Regionals
and did not run, but they will be running at the State Meet, please
let us know that they will be running and who they are replacing.

We thank you for your help in preparing our State Meet Predictions.

Additonal Comments -- Jessica Taylor is the defending champion
and, after battling illness earlier in the season, is running
strong again.  The only defeats that Tusing has suffered (to
our knowledge) have been to the Davis girls of Hampshire.  The
nod goes to Taylor.  She soundly defeated all comers in her 
region and dominated the State Meet last year against many
of the same competitors. 

In the team competition, you could see the best fight of
the day.  Charleston Catholic and Doddridge both have 
amazingly strong teams from top to bottom.  There is no 
clear front runner in this matchup, so your guess is as 
good as mine.  The real shame in this event is that two
of the four best teams in the state don't even get to 
participate in the State Meet.  On any given day Grafton
could win this meet, and Williamstown is the defending 
State Champion.  However, neither gets to participate 
this year because only one team got to advance from Region II
(that being Doddridge).  This happened last year as well 
when Doddridge and Grafton finished 2nd and 3rd in Region II,
respectively, leaving two of the three best teams in the
state at home. Something needs to be done about that.
