Meet: Class A Girls State Meet Predictions
Location: Cabell Midland High School
Date: To be held October 29, 2022
Predicted Class A Girls Team Results
This should again be a nice battle between Williamstown and Doddridge. They've squared off 3 times this
year with Williamstown taking the first with both teams missing athletes. Doddridge won the 2nd with both
at full strength. Those two were both so early that they can't mean a whole lot. The 3rd was at the LKC
with Doddridge taking that one as well, but Williamstown without their top runner. That may be what
determines this meeting as well. Alyssa Sauro hasn't competed since 9/17 due to injury. I really don't
know the extent of the injury or how she's doing now, but I'm going on assumption that she'll toe the
line on Saturday. If she's anywhere close to 100%, it will take a lot for Doddridge to win it. If she
isn't able to run, Doddridge becomes the favorite, though not a monumental one. So, with that assumption
that Sauro will run, even if not at 100% (but close), I have Williamstown winning by 15. With no Sauro,
I have Doddridge by 5. It's highly unlikely that anyone comes close to these two. There should be a
decent fight between Charleston Catholic and Trinity Christian for 3rd. I have Charleston Catholic taking
the spot by 5.
1. Williamstown 33
2. Doddridge 48
3. Charleston Catholic 103
4. Trinity Christian 108
5. St. Marys 125
6. Ritchie 144
7. Ravenswood 149
8. Richwood 172
Predicted Class A Girls Top 25
Mid-season, Alyssa Sauro was the strong favorite. Coming off the injury and not knowing her status,
I've moved Lexi Lamb into the top spot as the favorite to repeat as champion. I went ahead and dropped
Sauro into the 2nd spot. Katie Cottrill gets the nod for 3rd with a strong close to the season. I've
put Bella Boggs into the 4th spot. She's been consistently strong all season. Virginia Haddox is in the
5th position. Her excellent Regional run certainly makes her a threat to move up. Brianna Winsett is
pretty solid pick for the 6th slot. Ava Lightfritz moves up into the 7th slot. She came off injury to
have excellent runs at both the LKC Championships and the Regional Meet. Lacey Dimit gets the pick for
the 8th position. Sydney Anderson makes it 4 for Williamstown on the podium in the 9th spot. Katie Hicks
gets the pick for the 10th spot. She tends to close the season well and was 5th last year. Most of the top
20 has very legitimate shots at the top 10 on a good day.
