Meet: AAA Girls State Meet Predictions
Location: Cabell Midland High School
Date: To be held October 27, 2018
Predicted AAA Girls Team Results
It looks like another championship for University. It's not completely
a foregone conclusion as I have Cabell Midland within 19 points, but I
have University beating them at all 5 spots. I have everyone else well
behind. I have Morgantown in the 3rd spot, but just 18 points separate
3rd from 6th. I have Morgantown 8 points ahead of Ripley with Parkersburg
just 2 points behind them and Preston another 8 back.
1. University 47
2. Cabell Midland 66
3. Morgantown 112
4. Ripley 120
5. Parkersburg 122
6. Preston 130
7. Hampshire 156
8. George Washington 213
9. Woodrow Wilson 220
10. Spring Mills 260
11. Musselman 300
Predicted AAA Girls Top 25
Tori Starcher looks to repeat as champion and will come in as the solid favorite.
She started off the season a little slow, coming off an injury, but she quickly
rounded into form and has resumed her dominant nature for most of the season.
Madison Trippett knocked her off at the night race in early September and is one
of our all-time best in her own right. In just about any other era, the State would
be singing her praises, but with Starcher around, she doens't get the notice that
she deserves. We've had fewer than 10 (I believe) run under 18:00, and Trippett
is one of them. She's the favorite for the 2nd spot, but it won't come easy. Zoe
Shetty is always up for a strong performance at the State Meet level. The next three
are very tight. I went with Allie Martin for the 4th spot, but it's very tight. I
have Caroline Kirby in 5th, and she just beat Martin at the Regional. I dropped Lea
Hatcher into the 6th spot, but she just beat Martin as well. Kirby has beaten Hatcher
three times in October, but it's gotten closer each time with the most recent one by
just 2 seconds. These three spots could easily flip around. I moved Anya Miller into
the 7th position and put Olivia Collett in 8th. Collett is ranked higher but Miller
beat her at both the MSAC and the Regional, though both were by less than 5 seconds.
I put Emma Troischt in the 9th spot. I put Emma Jenkins in the 10th spot. She's been
very solid all season long with the exception of a down performance at the MSAC. We go
a good 16 or 17 deep for very reasonable possibilities for a top 10.
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.
