Meet: AAA Girls State Meet Predictions
Location: Cabell Midland High School
Date: To be held October 27, 2012
Predicted AAA Girls Team Results
The AAA Girls Team Title has probably already been engraved with Morgantown's name. They are far and
away the most prohibitive team favorite of the weekend. I have them winning by 68 points and taking
five of the top twelve spots. Hurricane and University should battle for 2nd. I have Hurricane taking
it by 11 points. Hampshire and Parkersburg could conceivably jump into a podium spot with strong days.
1. Morgantown 35
2. Hurricane 103
3. University 114
4. Hampshire 126
5. Parkersburg 130
6. Winfield 169
7. Cabell Midland 175
8. Musselman 190
9. Jefferson 205
10. Capital 245
11. Greenbrier East 297
12. Shady Spring 297
Predicted AAA Girls Top 25
Amelia Paladino has avenged a mid-season defeat with a pair of convincing wins over Brynn
Harshbarger. The race isn't a foregone conclusion by any means, but Paladino has established
herself as the clear favorite. Those two appear to be well ahead of the field. Things get much
tighter after that. Kaitlyn Workman has been very strong all season and always puts together a
nice State Meet run. Victoria Cooke is the defending champion and showed last year that she could
step forward when it was time. Abbey Harrison has beaten Cooke the last two times they've raced.
Abby Colbert has spent much of the season very under-ranked. I'm still not entirely certain where
she belongs, but I feel like she's very much a threat for the top 5. Peyton Panger has stepped
forward late in the season and typically runs well in the big meets. Tori Dent is a returning
All-State Performer and a threat for a top 5. Ashleigh Martin is ranked 6th, but like Colbert,
I'm still a little unsure where she belongs. Sydney Pineault is only ranked 13th, but she
certainly wasn't supposed to get 2nd last year either. I don't feel like a top 5 is out of the
question for her. I feel like the main contender list goes 14 deep with those outside that range
being much bigger upsets if they get on the podium
The predicted top 25 are as follows.
