Meet: Class AA Girls State Meet Predictions
Location: Cabell Midland High School
Date: To be held October 28, 2023
Predicted Class AA Girls Team Results
This team race is a little more interesting. I do show Braxton as a double digit favorite, but with Winfield and
Frankfort within striking distance. One big jump or several smaller jumps as a group, and either of those two are
right in the mix. Winfield comes in with a 3 point edge over Frankfort. The battle for 4th is very tight as well
with three teams separated by just 3 points.
1. Braxton 73
2. Winfield 87
3. Frankfort 90
4. East Fairmont 114
5. Elkins 116
6. Oak Glen 117
7. Shady Spring 144
8. Wayne 164
9. Herbert Hoover 206
Predicted Class AA Girls Top 25
The rankings show Ava Ethridge with a substantial lead. I say it's a 3 person race. Ethridge is the defending champion
and has started to run well late in the season and had the top Regional performance. Kliner and Tharp have split a pair
of battles with Kliner taking the most recent one. In their September matchup, they both beat a pair of Class A runners
that had beaten Ethridge earlier in the season. Any of these 3 walking away with the title would not be a surprise.
I have Julia Anguilli in 4th. She's been steadily strong all season. Taylor Hess is in the 5th spot. She has taken a
nice step forward late in the season, including knocking off Anguilli at the Big 10 Championships. Laura Cain has had
some up and down performances. I have her in the 6th spot, but some movement in either direction is very possible. I
have Julia Biola in the 7th spot. She's gained points in every meet this season and seems to have settled into this
area. I have Addison Lease in the 8th position. She's a two-time All-State performer that tends to run well when it
matters. She's had a couple poor meets this season, but I don't expect this to be one of them. Emily Viani gets the
9th position. She's surged late, gaining points in each of the last 3 meets and knocked off Lease at the Regional.
I've slotted Addison Lloyd in the 10th spot. After a rough start to the season dealing with some injury issues, she seems
to have gotten the ship sailing in the right direction. She also claimed for a 6th place finish last year.
