Meet: Class A Girls State Meet Predictions
Location: Cabell Midland High School
Date: To be held October 31, 2020
Predicted Class A Girls Team Results
Williamstown comes in as the clear and obvious favorite. They have excellent top end strength
combined with excellent depth. It should be quite a runaway win as I have them achieving a
miniscule score of 25. I have Doddridge fairly solidly in the 2nd spot, though Charleston
Catholic and S. Marys could be in striking distance with good days. The last four spots, I
have separated by just 6 points.
1. Williamstown 25
2. Doddridge 77
3. Charleston Catholic 113
4. St. Marys 120
5. Tucker 141
6. Ravenswood 146
7. Ritchie 147
8. Richwood 147
Predicted Class A Girls Top 25
Ella Hesson is the strong favorite. She's undefeated against Class A competition, though
Alexis Lamb has run close to her on a couple occasions. That is enough to give Lamb the
2nd spot. Natalie Sawin gets the nod for 3rd amongst a cluster of 6 runners that I feel
like legitimately have shots at the spot. Jenna Barnett gets the 4th spot and owns a win
over Lamb on the season. Brianna Winsett is the pick for the 5th spot. She has elevated
her performance in the last few meets, beating Sawin in two of those. Chloe Lightfritz
is slotted into the 6th position. She's on the rebound after a couple rough outings. A
top 3 finish for her would not be a surprise. Baylee Jarrett is the pick for the 7th spot.
She had the 5th best regional run in the group and knocked off Winsett and Lighfritz at
Ripley. Maria Bee is dropped into the 8th position. She owns early season wins over Sawin,
Winsett, and Lightfritz. I've put Lacey Dimit into the 9th spot. She's been a bit up and
down, but more up than down. Emily Gola gets the nod for the final spot. She's beaten Dimit
on a couple occasions and also holds wins over Bee and Winsett on the season. Others have a
very legitimate shot at the podium, including a couple darkhorses that are returning from
injury or had really strong regional races.
