Predicted Class AA Girls Team Results
Winfield comes in as a huge favorite. It would be a major upset if anyone were to challenge them for the top spot. I have a 45 point gap. The battle for 2nd has gotten interesting. I have Braxton in the spot, but they have some injury issues that have hindered recent performance. There are several teams waiting in the wings if Braxton were to stumble. Fairmont Senior appears to be the most likely to take the spot, but Philip Barbour, East Fairmont, Shady Spring, and Liberty Harrison all have a shot at moving up. There could be a lot of shuffling.
1.  Winfield               49
2.  Braxton                94
3.  Fairmont Senior       110
4.  Philip Barbour        123
5.  East Fairmont         128
6.  Shady Spring          142
7.  Liberty Harrison      147
8.  Nicholas              171
9.  Wayne                 198

Predicted Class AA Girls Top 25
This should be a nice battle between teammates. Rachael Withrow and Ava Ethridge square off every meet, and they have each won the battle three times this season. I went with experience and the most recent win and gave the nod to Withrow. Destiny Berryman could fight her way into the mix and is a very strong pick for 3rd. Claudia Moore looks like a pretty solid pick for 4th. Things get interesting after that. I gave Addison Lloyd the nod for 5th over Natalie Barr. Lloyd has won 3 of 4 meetings between the two, but Barr did win the most recent matchup. Kailee Haymond is the pick for 7th. She's been a consistent performer. Olivia Williamson is tabbed for 8th and was 5th last year. Addison Lease is in the 9th slot, but she was slotted 6th last year when she broke through for the runner-up spot. I put Laura Cain in the 10th spot. Three weeks ago, I would have had her at #5, but her Regional run only converted to #25. She's one of the injury issues for Braxton (at least judging from the taped up hip at the LKC meet). If she's in good health, she moves up. If she's not, she probably fall outside the top 10. Candidates for a podium spot go at least 20 deep.
