and he's been under 22.80 three times.  Chafin has a pair of runs under 23.10 and three

400 M	1.  Brandon Smith	Doddridge
	2.  JaQuan Jackson	Wheeling Central
	3.  Brooks Parsons	Magnolia
	4.  Dakota Clere	Meadow Bridge
	5.  Tom Bobbitt		Williamstown
	6.  Garrett Wilkins	South Harrison
Smith has the top time in the field and is the only one with multiple runs under 52, 
which he's done four times.  Jackson has one run under 52 and another under 53.  Parsons
beat Jackson at the Regional, but only has a 2nd best top time of 54.01.  However, he
onlyr ran the open 3 times.  Clere has a pair of runs under 53 seconds and was the runner-
up last year.  Bobbitt is one of just two to have three runs under 53 seconds.  He has
the 2nd best overall series.  Wilkins also has a pair of runs under 53 seconds.  6 in the
field have been under 53.  12 have been under 54.

800 M	1.  Logan Kerby		Wirt
	2.  Glenn McMillan	Wirt
	3.  Garrett Wilkins	South Harrison
	4.  Devin Rich		Buffalo
	5.  Daron Weekley	Tyler Consolidated
	6.  Brandon Lively	Doddridge
Kerby has the top time in the field by nearly 3 seconds.  He has at least five runs
better than anyone else's best, and he was the runner-up last year.  McMillan has the
2nd best run in the field.  Wilkins has a pair of runs under 2:06.  Rich has a better 
top time than Wilkins, but only has one other run under 2:08.  These top four are all 
scheduled to run the 1600 in the morning session, which could open the door for Weekley, 
who has gone under 2:05 and is one of just two to have four runs under 2:07.  Lively 
has a 2:05 and three 2:06 runs. 9 in the field have gone under 2:08.  

1600 M	1.  Logan Kerby		Wirt
	2.  Hayden Harrison	Buffalo
	3.  Hunter Riffle	Doddridge
	4.  Glenn McMillan	Wirt
	5.  Devin Rich		Buffalo
	6.  Soren Shade		Magnolia
Kerby has the top time in the field and has the speed make it hard to beat when fresh.
Harrison just beat Kerby at the Regional.  Riffle joins those two as the only ones to
have two runs under 4:40 and was the runner-up last year.  McMillan has a 4:39 and two
others under 4:41.  It's a slightly better resume than last year when he was picked 6th, 
got 6th at the Regional and then won the State Meet.  Rich is five seconds ahead of the 
rest  of the field.  Shade is the only other one with a pair of runs under 4:50.  8 have 
been under 4:50.  Only six have done it twice.

3200 M	1.  Hayden Harrison	Buffalo
	2.  Hunter Riffle	Doddridge
	3.  Glenn McMillan	Wirt
	4.  Brandon Lively	Doddridge
	5.  Jon Wileman		Buffalo
	6.  Trey Heaster	Doddridge
Harrison has the top time in the field by nearly 19 secons.  He has three runs better 
than anyone else's best.  Riffle is the defending champion and is the only other one 
to have gone under 10:00, which he's done twice.  McMillan has three runs under 10:15.
No one else has been under 10:20.  Lively has three runs under 10:30.  Wileman has
a pair of runs under 10:35, the only two times he's run the event.  No one else has
multiple runs under 10:40.  Heaster has the next best time and three runs under 10:45.
8 in the field have been under 10:40 and 9 have been under 10:45.

110 HH	1.  Tim Wickham		Williamstown
	2.  Noah Aviles		Gilmer
	3.  Andrew Kocher	Tyler Consolidated
	4.  Levi Mowery		Richwood
	5.  Dalton Irvine	Pocahontas
	6.  Anthony Johnson	St. Marys
Wickham has the top time and the best series.  His four best runs have come in his
last two meets.  Aviles is the only other one to have been under 16 seconds and has
four runs under 16.50.  Kocher also have four runs under 16.50.  Mowery has a better
top time than Kocher, but it's his only run under 16.60.  Irvine only has a pair of
FAT runs, both occurring at the Regional and both being under 16.50.  Johnson has a
pair of runs under 16.70 and was the runner-up last year.  11 in the field have been
under 17 seconds.  10 have done it twice.  7 have done it three times.

300 IH	1.  Jarod Kacor		Magnolia
	2.  John Burkhalter	Wheeling Central
	3.  Ian Parsons		Buffalo
	4.  Garrett Devericks	Doddridge
	5.  Tim Wickham		Williamstown
	6.  Anthony Johnson	St. Marys
Kacor is the defending champion and the only one to have been under 42 seconds twice.
Burkhalter has the top time in the field and just beat Kacor in the Regional.  The 
next three are tough.  Parsons has the top time of the three.  Devericks has the best
series, and Wickham just beat them both at the Regional.  Ultimately, I just decided
to put them in the order of their top times.  Johnson has been under 43 seconds twice,
one of just four that have done that.  This event has room for a lot of movement as
the top times of people three through thirteen are separated by just 1.13 seconds.

4x100 M	1.  Madonna
	2.  Doddridge
	3.  Williamstown
	4.  Wheeling Central
	5.  Magnolia
	6.  Tyler Consolidated
Madonna has the top time in the field and has three runs under 45.30 an at least five
under 45.70.  Doddridge had the top Regional time.  Williamstown has a pair of runs
under 45.60 and three others under 46.25.  Wheeling Central has been under 46 seconds
and could add John Burkhalter to the mix.  I'm guessing that Magnolia drops Jarod Kacor
from the 100 and puts him here.  I think that moves them up into the top five, possibly
the top 4.  Tyler Consolidated is the other team that has been under 46 seconds.  Five
teams have been under 46 seconds.  9 have been under 46.50.

4x200 M	1.  Madonna
	2.  Doddridge
	3.  South Harrison
	4.  Buffalo
	5.  Wheeling Central
	6.  Williamstown
Madonna has the top time in the field by over 1 second.  They're the only team to have
two runs under 1:34.  Doddridge had the top Regional time and could add Brandon Smith to
the unit.  South Harrison has a pair of runs under 1:35.  Buffalo has the next best time.
Wheeling Central has one under 1:35 and another in the low 1:35's.  Williamstown has three
runs under 1:36.  No one else has been under 1:36, but two others have been under 1:36.30.

4x400 M	1.  Williamstown
	2.  Magnolia
	3.  Wheeling Central
	4.  Doddridge
	5.  Buffalo
	6.  St. Marys
Williamstown has the top time in the group by over a second, and they ran that on April
7th.  I think they can run 3:33.  Magnolia ran their 3:38.86 without Brooks Parsons, who
ran 51.48 in the open at the Regional.  I think he moves from the 4x100 to the 4x400, and
Magnolia challenges Williamstown for the win.  Wheeling Central had the 2nd best Regional
run in the group and can probably go 3:35.  Doddridge had the 4th best Regional time and
could add Brandon Smith to the lineup.  He has an open event and will almost assuredly go
into either the 4x200 or the 4x400.  Doddridge has run under 3:40 with him.  Buffalo had
the 5th best Regional run and could add Devin Rich to their lineup.  St. Marys has a pair
of runs under 3:46.  I have 9 teams that I think could possibly crack 3:40, so teams will
need to be ready to roll.

4x800 M	1.  Wirt
	2.  Williamstown
	3.  Buffalo
	4.  Charleston Catholic
	5.  Doddridge
	6.  South Harrison
Wirt doesn't have the top time, but I do think they have the most potential.  
Williamstown has the top time in the group and are the only team to have gone under 
8:30.  Buffalo will likely add Hayden Harrison to the lineup and could challenge 
the other two.  Charleston Catholic and Doddridge can both run under 8:40.  South 
Harrison has the next best time by over 6 seconds.

Shuttle	1.  Pocahontas
	2.  Magnolia
	3.  Williamstown
	4.  South Harrison
	5.  St. Marys
	6.  Tucker
Pocahontas is the only team to have gone under 62 seconds.  They have the top time
in the field by nearly a full second.  They're also the only team to have three
runs under 63 seconds.  Magnolia, Williamstown, and South Harrison have each been
under 63 seconds twice.  St. Marys has a better top time than South Harrison.
Tucker will be running in the 2nd heat, but they have the next best time and the
next best series.

H Jump	1.  Tucker Cain		Valley Wetzel
	2.  Noah Aviles		Gilmer
	3.  Brooks Parsons	Magnolia
	4.  Cole McGee		Valley Wetzel
	5.  Dalton Irvine	Pocahontas
	6.  Austin Barker	South Harrison
Cain is the only one to have gone higher than 6'2, and he's done it at least 5 times
with a top jump of 6'6.  Aviles has a 6'2 jump and four 6'0 jumps.  Parsons has a
6'2 jump and a 6'0, but then nothing else over 5'6.  He did get 6'0 at the Regional,
though.  McGee has a pair of 6'0 jumps and three 5'10 jumps.  Irvine has a pair of
6'0 jumps and two 5'10 jumps.  Barker has a 6'0 jump and four 5'10 jumps.  That 6'0
jump came in March, though.  He does have two of his 5'10 jumps in May.

P Vault	1.  Dyllon Hayes	Doddridge
	2.  Tucker Cain		Valley Wetzel
	3.  Austin Raines	Williamstown
	4.  Ted Cerny		Tyler Consolidated
	5.  Michael Blankenship	Doddridge
	6.  Jarrett LeMasters	Tyler Consolidated
Hayes is the only one to have been higher than 13'6.  He has a 14'6 vault and a pair 
of 14'0 vaults and a pair of 13'6 vaults.  Cain has a pair of 13'6 vaults and a pair
of 13'0 vaults.  Raines has a 13'0 vault and three 12'6 vaults, and he beat Hayes at
the Regional.  Cerny has a pair of 12'6 vaults and a pair of 11'6 vaults.  Blankenship
has a 12'0 vault and four 11'6 vaults, but hasn't cleared higher than 11'0 since
April 24th.  Lemasters has an 11'6 vault and a pair of 11'0 vaults.  7 in the field
have cleared 11'0.

L Jump	1.  Tucker Cain		Valley Wetzel
	2.  Freddy Canary	South Harrison
	3.  Tim Weekley		Magnolia
	4.  Tyler Anderson	Tyler Consolidated
	5.  Ryan Church		Meadow Bridge
	6.  Ted Cerny		Tyler Consolidated
Cain is the only one with three 20'0 jumps, and they've come in his last three meets.
Canary has the best top jump in the field at 20'11, but his 2nd best jump is 19'5.50.
Weekley is just incredibly consistent.  His top five jumps are all between 19'8 and
19'10.  Anderson has three jumps over 19'4.  Church only have one good jump on his
resume, but it came at Laidley.  Cerny actually has a pair of 20'0 jumps and tow others
over 19'10 and is one of just two in the field with a full series of 19'8 or better 
jumps.  However, he has been hampered by injury and all five of his best jumps all came
April 11th or earlier.  6 in the field have topped 20'0.  11 have topped 19'5.

Shot	1.  Nathan Stout	Gilmer
	2.  Zack Liller		Moorefield
	3.  Ben Harris		Williamstown
	4.  Jacob Easton	Buffalo
	5.  Jacob Cox		St. Marys
	6.  Devon Yeager	Doddridge
Stout has the top throw in the field by over 9'.  His 5th best throw is nearly 6'
better than anyone else's best.  His been hampered by injury late in the season, but
he doesn't need to be 100% to win it.  Liller is the only other one to have topped
45'0, and he's done it twice, with a top throw of 46'7.  Harris is the only other
one with a pair of throws over 44'0.  Easton is the only other one to have thrown
43'0 three times.  Cox has a better top throw than Easton and has two over 43'0.
Yeager also has a top throw further than Easton's, but doesn't have any other throws
over 43'0.  He does have five throws over 42'6.

Discus	1.  Nathan Stout	Gilmer
	2.  Trevor Hoosier	Williamstown
	3.  Brody Straderman	Tucker
	4.  Ben Harris		Williamstown
	5.  Nick Parsons	Buffalo
	6.  Robbie Carpenter	St. Marys
Stout's top throw is nearly 23' ahead of anyone else.  He has at least five throws
over 160', and no one else has topped 145.  Hoosier is the only other one to have
a pair of throws over 140'.  Straderman is the only one other than Stout to have
five throws over 130', and he has two over 135'0.  Harris has a better top throw
than Straderman by almost 5', but he's only been over 130'0 three times and hasn't
been since April 17th.  Parsons only has the 8th best top throw in the group, but
he has four throws of 129'0 or more, which only four in the field can say.  Carpenter
only has the 7th best throw in the group, but has a much better series.  8 in the
field have thrown 130'.
