Predicted AAA Boys Team Results
This is a two-team race. Cabell Midland looks like a fairly solid favorite. I have them 24 points ahead of Jefferson. They have excellent depth as I have all 7 of their runners finishing in the top 25. Jefferson will likely need great runs from their 3-4-5 crew to steal the title. University is the favorite for the 3rd position. I have 4th through 6th separated by just 9 points and any of them could climb as high as 3rd.
1.  Cabell Midland       48
2.  Jefferson            72
3.  University          123
4.  Parkesburg          146
5.  Morgantown          150

12. Musselman           239

Predicted Boys AAA Top 25
Jacob Burcham is again a very strong favorite. He should win with relative ease. There should be a nice battle for 2nd between Ryan Graf and Matthew Brafford. I've given Graf the edge, but it could go either way. Andrew Milliron gets the edge over Brody Born for 4th, though that could go either way as well. Avery Campbell is only ranked 9th, but I believe he could move into that front four. I think things get very messy after that. Cameron Greza, Levi Snedegar, and Wes Stowers are easily the next best ranked runners, but they can't be off by much and stay in the top 10. Stowers beat Snedegar at the Regional but that early season run at Geico by Snedegar sticks in my mind. I've slated Andy Paladino the 10th spot, but it's very tenuous. The ability to crack the top 10 goes over 20 deep. After the first few finishers, things should get very exciting.
