Individual Predictions

100 M	1.  Kelsey Zuspan	Wahama
	2.  Randi Jenkins	East Hardy
	3.  Alexandrine Ratnani	Charleston Catholic
	4.  Jessica Montgomery	Gilmer
	5.  Kylie Hammer	Williamstown
	6.  Olivia Banks	Williamson
Zuspan has the only sub-13 clocking in the field.  Jenkins was runner-up last year.  Only
Zuspan has been under 13.20.  Four others have been under 13.30.  10 have been under 13.50.

200 M	1.  Alexandrine Ratnani	Charleston Catholic
	2.  Andrea Chidester	Williamstown
	3.  Randi Jenkins	East Hardy
	4.  Kelsey Zuspan	Wahama
	5.  Madelin Gardner	Williamstown
	6.  Megan Roberts	Williamstown
Ratnani won the event last year and has the only sub-27 run in the field.  Chidester has only
run the open 200 at the Regional Meet.  Jenkins was runner-up last year.  Four have been 27.20
or better.  Jenkins' best time has only been 28.36 (in meets I've seen, and since East Hardy
doesn't bother to submit results, that isn't many), but she was in a similar situation last 
year and got 2nd.  

400 M	1.  Gretchen Lantz	South Harrison
	2.  Kelsey Zuspan	Wahama
	3.  Ali Johnson		St. Marys
	4.  D'Andra Swiger	Doddridge
	5.  Ciara Flowers	Williamstown
	6.  Emily Sotomayor	Charleston Catholic
Lantz's best time is nearly 1.5 seconds ahead of anyone else.  Only Zuspan has a pair of runs
under 1:03 among the remaining field.  Swiger was runner-up last year.  Three have been under 1:03.
6 have been under 1:04.  10 have been under 1:06.

800 M	1.  Maggie Drazba	St. Marys
	2.  Emily Bucon		Wheeling Central
	3.  Samantha Harris	Charleston Catholic
	4.  Cami Mossor		Williamstown
	5.  Emily Sotomayor	Charleston Catholic
	6.  Bethany Carroll	Doddridge
Drazba has the top time in the field and is the defending champion.  Bucon's top time is 3 seconds
ahead of anyone else.  Harris is the only other one to have gone under 2:30.  Five others have gone
under 2:36.

1600 M	1.  Maggie Drazba	St. Marys
	2.  Samantha Harris	Charleston Catholic
	3.  Bethany Carroll	Doddridge
	4.  Breanna Mazzella	Richwood
	5.  Beverly Knight	St. Marys
	6.  Shealee Mosser	Williamstown
Drazba has three runs faster than anyone else's best.  Harris is nearly 24 seconds ahead of anyone
else.  Two others have been under 5:50.  7 have been under 6:00.

3200 M	1.  Maggie Drazba	St. Marys
	2.  Samantha Harris	Charleston Catholic
	3.  Bethany Carroll	Doddridge
	4.  MaeBeth Fisher	Moorefield
	5.  Heather Gray	Williamstown
	6.  Elizabeth Carr	Tucker
This is one of the highlight races of the weekend.  Drazba and Harris have been turning in great
times while running solo.  We'll see how they react when there's someone around.  Drazba's 11:06
Conference run was impressive enough to give her the top spot.  They pair are 1:20 ahead of anyone
else.

100 HH	1.  Sarah Ferguson	Doddridge
	2.  Kylie Hammer	Williamstown
	3.  Ali Johnson		St. Marys
	4.  Lincoln Postlewaite	Williamstown
	5.  Malee McGill	St. Marys
	6.  Jessica Kerns	Williamstown
Ferguson has three runs better than anyone else's best.  Hammer was 3rd in the event last year.
Ferguson is the only to have been under 16.45.  5 have been under 16.60.  8 have been under 16.80.

300 LH	1.  Gretchen Lantz	South Harrison
	2.  Ali Johnson		St. Marys
	3.  D'Andra Swiger	Doddridge
	4.  Sarah Ferguson	Doddridge
	5.  Kathleen Cornell	Williamstown
	6.  Ciara Flowers	Williamstown
Lantz has the top time in the field and two runs better than anyone else's best.  Johnson has
also been under 48.  Swiger and Ferguson were right on Lantz's heels at the Gazette Relays.
6 have been under 50.

4x100 M	1.  Williamstown
	2.  Charleston Catholic
	3.  Madonna
	4.  Gilmer
	5.  Wheeling Central
	6.  East Hardy
Williamstown should walk away with this.  Their top time is nearly 2 seconds ahead of the field.
2nd through 4th are separated by just 0.08. 8 have been under 56.

4x200 M	1.  Williamstown
	2.  Charleston Catholic
	3.  Wheeling Central
	4.  Madonna
	5.  Wirt
	6.  East Hardy
Again, Williamstown should have it well in hand.  Their top time is nearly 3 seconds ahead of
the field.  5 have been under 1:57.

4x400 M	1.  Williamstown
	2.  Charleston Catholic
	3.  St. Marys
	4.  Gilmer
	5.  Wirt
	6.  Tucker
Williamstown is again the favorite, but this time, it's quite possible for Charleston Catholic
and St. Marys to give them a run.  I do still have them 4 seconds ahead.  6 have been under 4:40.
Richwood is a possible dark horse here.  They could make moves that I think could get them as
high as 4th.

4x800 M	1.  St. Marys
	2.  Williamstown
	3.  Charleston Catholic
	4.  Wheeling Central
	5.  Wirt
	6.  Tucker
The first three could be very close.  I have them separated by just 3 seconds.  Wheeling Central's
top time is well behind the others, but I think they can hang in the race.

Shuttle	1.  Williamstown
	2.  Madonna
	3.  Wheeling Central
	4.  Doddridge
	5.  Tucker
	6.  St. Marys
Williamstown is again the prohibitive favorite.  Their top times is 2 seconds ahead of anyone else.
8 have been under 1:13.

H Jump	1.  Megan Steele	Williamstown
	2.  D'Andra Swiger	Doddridge
	3.  Jamie Hanlin	Union
	4.  Gretchen Lantz	South Harrison
	5.  Kelley Bunner	Wirt
	6.  Taylor Pickens	St. Marys
Steele has the only 5'4 jump in the field, and she has three of them.  Swiger has five jumps of at
least 5'0 including a 5'2 jump.  Hanlin has the only other 5'2 jump in the field.  8 have cleared 
5'0 on the season, so there could be a lot of movement.

P Vault	1.  Lincoln Posltwaite	Williamstown
	2.  Liz Flowers		Williamstown
	3.  Emily Sherrard	Charleston Catholic
	4.  McKenzie Smith	Williamstown
	5.  Kelsie Marple	Doddridge
	6.  Natasha Sellers	Doddridge
Postlewaite has the only 10'0 vault in the field, and she's done it twice.  Flowers has a full
series of 9'6 vaults.  Sherrard has a 9'6 to her credit.  6 have cleared 8'0.

L Jump	1.  Gretchen Lantz	South Harrison
	2.  D'Andra Swiger	Doddridge
	3.  Sarah Ferguson	Doddridge
	4.  Kaitlyn Conner	Madonna
	5.  Jessica Montgomery	Gilmer
	6.  Kathleen Cornell	Williamstown
Lantz has the top jump in the field, and has three jumps better than anyone else's best.  She's
also the defending champion.  Swiger is the only other one with multiple 16'0 jumps.  Ferguson
is the only other one over 16'0.  6 have jumped 15'0.

Shot	1.  Shila Allman	Williamstown
	2.  Hunter House	Williamstown
	3.  Tiffany Jones	Union
	4.  Danielle Hershey	Buffalo
	5.  Kaitlyn Miller	East Hardy
	6.  Taylor Pavan	Madonna
Allman is the only one to have had a 34'0 toss.  House has been over 33'0.  No one else has hit
32'0.  3 have thrown 31'0.  5 have thrown 30'0.  8 have thrown 29'0.

	3.  Taylor Pavan	Madonna
	4.  Kimber Odle		Doddridge
	5.  Shannon Cieslewski	Williamstown
	6.  Kimberly Delawder	East Hardy
Allman has the top throw in the field by almost 9'0 but that's her best throw by nearly 12'0.
She's also one of just two in the field to have more than one 100'0 throw.   Clark is the other.
Pavan was runner-up last year.  6 have thrown at least 97'0.  9 have thrown at least 90.
