Meet: AAA Girls State Meet Predictions
Location: Cabell Midland High School
Date: To be held November 1, 2014
Predicted AAA Girls Team Results
I'm a little surprised at how this turned out. I'm not surprised at the predicted winner, but I am by
the gap I ended up with, considering I feel like any of the top 3, and maybe even the 4th have a shot
at walking away with the title. Regardless, once I had picked a spot for everyone, I had Hurricane on
top by 15 points. I have University edging Morgantown by 3 for the second podium spot. Obviously, with
this much quality in the field, everyone will have to take care of business. Hurricane has a four
headed giant at the front. University will need big performances from 3-4-5 to take the title.
Morgantown is likely to have five any before anyone else. If they can move up as a group, the
championship could be theirs. Hampshire will have to have an exceptional run and probably have to
have a couple teams mess up a bit.
1. Hurricane 56
2. University 71
3. Morgantown 74
4. Hampshire 95
5. Winfield 128
6. Preston 133
7. Capital 188
8. Cabell Midland 230
9. Buckhannon-Upshur 252
10. Musselman 282
11. Greenbrier East 297
12. Ripley 346
Predicted AAA Girls Top 25
This was a tough one. Peyton Panger has sat atop the rankings most of the season, but I had to go
with Abby Colbert for the win. Her history of big-time State Meet performances is just too consistent
to ignore. It could certainly go the other way, though, as Panger has been dominant. Hannah Lipps
gets the 3rd spot. I give Victoria Cooke the nod for 4th over Sarah Wills and TaShala Turner based
mostly on the Regional win. Both have beaten her during the season, though. I went with Wills and
Turner, 5th and 6th, respectively. Emily Louk has put together a very strong season despite a lengthy
absence in the middle of the season. I put three Hurricane runners in the final three podium spots
with Joie Johnston, Jenna Crouch, and Abbie Short in the 8th, 9th, and 10th spots, respectively. The
list of very capable candidates goes nearly 20 deep.
The predicted top 25 are as follows. If you want to know where you are picked, just
send me an e-mail, and I'll tell you.
