Predicted Class AA Girls Team Results
Williamstown should cap their inaugural Class AA run with an easy title. I have them over 50 points ahead of the 2nd place team. Frankfort and Elkins should battle for the 2nd spot, and I have Frankfort with a 12 point edge. Things tighten considerably after that with 4 teams within 18 points of each other battling for the 4th spot.

Predicted Class AA Girls Top 25
We were blessed to see a trio of early season matchups between Alyssa Sauro and Maysen Fletcher. Sauro won the first two, and Fletcher won the 3rd. Then Sauro was beset with injury. She has returned, but I think the time missed will be too much to overcome. Maysen Fletcher gets the pick for the title. I've slotted Sauro into 2nd because...well...she's Sauro. That being said, Emilia Tenney did just knock her off by 12 seconds at the Regional. Tenney has been excellent all season long. An early season meeting with the top two saw her well behind them, but that Regional meet shows that she can be in the conversation for a top two spot. Cassie Sites gets the 4th spot. She's a steady performer with a history of stepping up in the big meets. She also has an excellent close. Addison Tharp gets the nod for the 5th spot. She closed the season with a couple solid runs at PVC and Regional. Lacey Cameron gets the pick for 6th. She was right behind Sites at their Regional. I moved Bailey Ferguson into the 7th position. She had a mid-season stretch in which she knocked off Tharp in three straight meets. She'll need to return to that form or risk dropping. Raley Cochran is slotted into the 8th position. She's had an excellent debut campaign. Jenna Brown is moved into the 9th spot. She has a history of stepping up in the big meets. I put Savannah Holden in the 10th spot after a very strong, steady season. Like in Class AAA Girls, this gets very tricky. You can easily drop down to about 15th and have good arguments for placement in the top 10.
