Predicted Class AA Girls Results
This could be the most interesting team race of the day. I think four different teams could win it. Multiple teams are dealing with injuries that hamper their lineup. As it stands, I have Frankfort in the top spot by 5, but only 12 points separate the 4 teams. Braxton has the edger over Lincoln for the runner-up spot by a point, and lingering another 6 points back in 4th is Williamstown. Here's the deal, though. If Williamstown runs like they did at the LKC Championships, they probably win the meet. Braxton was missing one of their top 5 at the Regional. If she runs and is near mid-season form, they probably win the meet. If Lincoln's #5 returns to early season form, they have a good shot at winning. If all those things happen, and Frankfort steps up a little, it's back to anyone's contest. There are a lot of moving parts. No one for any of the teams can afford to be off if their team is going to win the title. Buffalo is only 11 points behind Williamstown in 5th, but that puts them 23 spots out of the lead, so it would be very hard for them to pull off a win. Sliding up into the top 3 is reasonable, though.
1.  Frankfort              73
2.  Braxton                78
3.  Lincoln                79
4.  Williamstown           85
5.  Buffalo                96
6.  Ravenswood            112
7.  Tyler Consolidated    174
8.  Clay County           231
9.  Sissonville           248

Predicted Class AA Girls Top 25
This should be interesting. I think any of my top 3 could walk away with the win. I gave the nod to Cassie Sites. She has closed the season well, and has one of the best long-kicks in the State. I put Raley Cochran in the 2nd spot. She had a phenomenal Regional run, easily th ebest in the field. If she could duplicate that, she will win. I have Bailey Ferguson in the 3rd spot. She's been strong and steady throughout the season. Riley Sotomayor gets the pick for 4th. She has had a very good season, and she also has an exceptional close. I moved Gwyn Gorrell up to the 5th spot. She has come on very strong over the last two meets. Adalynn Milnes gets the pick for 6th. She has risen steadily through the ranks and is closing the season well. Paisley Raines gets the 7th spot. She's actually ranked 5th and could easily move up. I moved Cami Samples into the 8th position. She had strong runs at the Conference and Regional meets. Leah Payne gets the 9th spot. She's been solid throughout the season and is ranked ahead of Gorrell, Milnes, and Samples. Emily Cottrill gets the nod for the final podium spot. She's been strong throughout the season. Primary contenders for a podium spot goes about 13 deep. Others have a shot, but it will take big-time runs.
