Predicted Class A Girls Team Results
Braxton comes in as a fairly heavy favorite. The small size of this race keeps the points fairly close though. I show Braxton taking the title by 11 points over Doddridge with St. Marys just 7 points behind that. I have 4th separated by just one point with Charleston Catholic nipping Ravenswood for the spot.
1.  Braxton County         49
2.  Doddridge              60
3.  St. Marys              67
4.  Charleston Catholic    99
5.  Ravenswood            100

Predicted Class A Girls Top 25
Since returning from an early injury, Bella Boggs has asserted herself as the strong favorite for the individual title. The next four have beaten each other up over the course of the season. Anna Bennett has been on the rise over the last few weeks and has turned in a couple very fast runs in October, and I've slotted her into the 2nd spot. Laura Cain has been consistently good over the entire season and has at least one win over each of the other competitors for these 2-5 spots. She has beaten Bennett in their only two head-to-head meetings. Bentlee Williams has also been consistently fast and also holds at least one win over each of the other three. I've placed her in the 4th spot. Bailey Holden goes into the 5th spot. She hasn't beaten Williams but has beaten Benntt and Cain. She and Cain have squared off 8 times with each winning 4 of the matchups. Holden also had the 2nd best Regional run in the field. I really feel like these 4 spots can come in any order. I've placed Katie Cottrill into the 6th position. She is continuing to rise after missing the first half of the season due to injury. Natalie Bartrug is in the 7th spot. She typically runs well at the State Meet and did just beat Cottrill at the LKC Meet and has an early season win over Bennett as well. Addison Lloyd is in the 8th spot. She also typically runs very well at the State Meet and had a very good Regional run. Riley Sotomayor gets the nod for 9th on the back of a very good Regional performance. She also beat Lloyd at the LKC Meet. Cassie Cumberledge is the pick for the 10th spot. She has several wins over Lloyd on the season and beat Sotomayor at the LKC Meet, which was their only meeting.
