	2.  Zac Long		St. Marys
	3.  Will Billeter	St. Marys
	4.  Brooks Parsons	Magnolia
	5.  Daniel Mullenax	Pendleton
	6.  Chase Uppole	Williamstown
Canary rolled out a 49.51 at the Regional to establish himself as the favorite wit
a top time almost 0.9 seconds ahead of the field.  Long is the defending champion
and has the next best time by over a second.  He's also the only one in the  field
with more than one run under 51 seconds, and he has 3 of them.  Billeter has the
next best top time.  Parsons has a better series than Billeter with a pair of runs
under 52 seconds and three of 52.2 or better, but Billeter beat him at the Regional
Meet.  Mullenax is the only other one in the field to have been under 52 seconds.
Uppole is the only other one in the field with more than one run under 53 seconds.
8 in the field have been under 53 seconds.

800 M	1.  Jarett Allender	Ritchie
	2.  Chase Uppole	Williamstown
	3.  Bryce Jarrell	Ravenswood
	4.  Hunter Riffle	Doddridge
	5.  Walker Hashman	St. Marys
	6.  Gabe Murphy		Ritchie
This one is quite the mess.  Allender has the best time in the field and is the
only one to have been under 2:05.  He also has the best series with four runs
under 2:07.5.  Uppole only has the 4th best top time but has the 2nd best series
and is the only one in the field with 5 runs under 2:08.  He was also 3rd in
the event last year.  Jarrell has the 3rd best top time, and has three runs under
2:08.  Riffle has the 2nd best top time in the field but only has three runs under 
2:09.  Hashman only has one run under 2:09, but he just beat Allender at the Regional 
Meet.  Murphy has three runs under 2:09.  9 in the field have been under 2:08.

1600 M	1.  Hunter Riffle	Doddridge

	3.  Matthew Casey	Charleston Catholic
	4.  Brady Gorrell	St. Marys
	5.  Bryce Jarrell	Ravenswood
	6.  Blake Jarrell	Ravenswood
Riffle has the top time in the field and is the only one to have been under 4:45
more than once, which he's done 4 times.  Hashman has the 2nd best top time and
beat Riffle at the LKC.  Casey has the 3rd best top time and is the only one
remaining in the field to have been under 4:45, but that's his only run under 4:50.  
Gorrell only has the 5th best top time but is the only one other than Riffle to 
have four runs under 4:50.  Bryce Jarrell has a pair of runs under 4:50.  Blake 
Jarrell has the 4th best top time in the field but no other runs under 4:50.  7
have been under 4:50.  9 have been under 4:51.

110 HH	1.  Tavon Jeter		Madonna
	2.  Tim Wickham		Williamstown
	3.  Hunter Hayes	Doddridge
	4.  Cole Smith		St. Marys
	5.  Bradley Fayad	Williamstown
	6.  Dawson Evans	Doddridge
Jeter has the best series in the field and the top Regional time.  He was also 3rd
in the event last year.  Wickham has the top time in the field and has the most
total runs under 15.70.  Hayes has four runs of 15.80 or better.  Smith has a pair
of runs under 16 seconds.  No one else has been under 16.50.  Fayad has five runs
under 16.80.  Evans has a pair of runs under 16.80.  9 in the field have been under
17 seconds.

300 IH	1.  Jacob Pierce	Paden City
	2.  Tim Wickham		Williamstown
	3.  Ian Parsons		Buffalo
	4.  Zac Long		St. Marys
	5.  Bradley Fayad	Williamstown	
	6.  Griffin Devericks	Doddridge
Pierce is the only one to  have gone under 41 seconds and has the best series in
the field.  Wickham has the 2nd best time and three runs under 41.8 seconds.  Parsons
has a pair of runs under 42 seconds.  Long only has the 7th best time in the field,
but it's the only time he's run the event.  He has the speed to conceivably win it,
but the inexperience to conceivably not place.  St. Marys will have to decide whether
to use him here or to significantly improve a relay.  I'm leaving him here for potential
upside.  Fayad has five runs under 43 seconds.  Devericks had the fourth best Regional
run in the field and four runs under 43.50.  7 in the field have been under 43
seconds, and 10 have been under 43.50.

4x100 M	1.  Magnolia
	2.  Tyler Consolidated
	3.  Williamstown
	4.  Doddridge
	5.  St. Marys
	6.  Webster
Magnolia has been consistently fast and could have the option of adding Brooks
Parsons to their lineup.  Tyler Consolidated may or may not have Trent Shepherd.  
He hasn't ran the event since mid-season.  He ran the 100 Trials at the Regional 
but didn't run the finals or the relay, which could mean he aggravated the injury.  
If he's healthy and runs, Tyler Consolidated probably wins it.  But it's a risk, 
if he runs it and pulls up, they conceivably don't finish, and they're fast enough
to compete for the win without him.  Williamstown  moves up to 3rd as they should 
be able to add Dakota Hammer to the unit.  Doddridge has the 3rd best time and 
the 3rd best top end series.  St. Marys has a pair of runs under 46 seconds.  
Webster is the only remaining team to have gone under 46 seconds.  8 have been 
under 46.50.

4x200 M	1.  Magnolia
	2.  St. Marys
	3.  Williamstown
	4.  Doddridge
	5.  Webster
	6.  Midland Trail
Magnolia has the top time in the field and the best series.  St. Marys has the
2nd best time in the field and three runs under 1:35.  Williamstown only has the
5th best time, but again can add Hammer to the unit and likely move up.  Doddridge
is one of just three to have been under 1:35 and has three runs under 1:36.  Webster
was just over 1:35 at their Regional Meet.  Midland Trail has the next best series.
7 have been under 1:37.  8 have been under 1:38.

4x400 M	1.  St. Marys
	2.  Magnolia
	3.  Williamstown
	4.  Pocahontas
	5.  Ritchie
	6.  Pendleton
St. Marys has the top time and I can see them going 3:28.  Magnolia has the next
best time and I have them at 3:30.  I think Williamstown can put together a unit
that can be close to them at 3:31.  I have Pocahontas at 3:34.  I have Ritchie at
3:37 and Pendleton at 3:39.  Things are very close as I have 6 more teams within
4 seconds.

4x800 M	1.  Ritchie
	2.  Doddridge
	3.  St. Marys
	4.  Williamstown
	5.  Pocahontas
	6.  Cameron
I have Ritchie with the most potential in this event, but it should be pretty close
as I have the top 4 all within 5 seconds.  I have Doddridge just ahead of St. Marys
as they can move Hunter Riffle to this unit.  I have St. Marys and Williamstown with
equivalent times, but St. Marys has been faster, so they get the nod.  Pocahontas
is dangerous again this year.  Cameron gets the nod for the 6th position on the
next best time, but I have 4 more teams within 2 seconds.

Shuttle	1.  Williamstown
	2.  St. Marys
	3.  Doddridge
	4.  Paden City
	5.  Tucker
	6.  East Hardy
Williamstown is the only team to have gone under 60 seconds with a 59.37.  St. Marys 
has the next best time.  Doddridge has a better series of runs than St. Marys.  Those
three teams have all been under 1:01.  No one else has been under 1:04.  Paden City
has the next best time and series.  Tucker has the next best time and series.  East
Hardy has the next best time and series.  7 have been under 1:05.  9 have been under
1:05.20.

H Jump	1.  Trevor Hoosier	Williamstown
	2.  Travis Pickering	Ritchie
	3.  Chase Dunaway	Doddridge
	4.  Clayton Burdock	Union
	5.  Danny Stewart	Hundred
	6.  Gunner Brummage	Clay-Battelle
Hoosier is the only one to have cleared 6'2, and has three other 6'0 jumps.  However,
he has only cleared 6'0 once since 4/18.  Pickering has three 6'0 jumps including
one at the Regional.  Dunaway has a pair of 6'0 jumps to his credit.  Burdock has
a 6'0 jump at the Regional and three 5'10 jumps to go with it.  Stewart also has a
6'0 and three 5'10 jumps, but his 6'0 jump came in March.  Brummage has four 5'10
jumps.  9 in the field have cleared 5'10.

P Vault	1.  Jarrett LeMasters	Tyler Consolidated
	2.  Dakota Hammer	Williamstown
	3.  Levi Morgan		Tyler Consolidated
	4.  Alex Hall		South Harrison
	5.  Dawson Evans	Doddridge
	6.  Adam Bennett	South Harrison
LeMasters is the only one to go higher than 13'0, and he has a pair of 14'4 vaults
and a trio of 14'0 vaults among his top 5.  Hammer is the only other one to have
cleared 13'0, and he's done it twice.  Morgan has a 12'6 vault and three 12'0 vaults.
Hall has a 12'6 vault and a 12'0 vault.  Evans has four 12'0 vaults.  Bennett has
a pair of 12'0 vaults.  7 in the field have cleared 12'0 and 9 have cleared 11'6.

L Jump	1.  Tavon Jeter		Madonna
	2.  Freddy Canary	South Harrison
	3.  Caleb Clendenin	Richwood
	4.  Tyler Anderson	Tyler Consolidated
	5.  John Burkhalter	Wheeling Central
	6.  Jacob McBride	Summers
Jeter is the only one in the field with five 20'0 jumps.  He has a pair of 20'9
jumps to his credit, and he finished 2nd last year.  Canary only has the 4th best
jump in the field and just one over 20'0, but he was 4th last year, and with that
speed, you can't rule out winning the thing.  Clendenin has the top jump in the field
and three over 20'0.  Anderson is one of just two to surpass 21'0 and has three
jumps over 20'0.  Burkhalter has a pair of 20'0 jumps and four of at least 19'11.
McBride has the next best top jump and four of at least 19'6.  7 in the field have
jumped 20'0.  12 have jumped at least 19'6.

Shot	1.  Sam Harris		Williamstown
	2.  Brock Dolly		Moorefield
	3.  Trevor Hoosier	Williamstown
	4.  Jacob Northrup	St. Marys
	5.  Hunter Allen	Buffalo
	6.  Bryce Mefford	Williamstown
This one should be interesting.  The top four are within 9" of each other.  I went
with Harris because he had the top Regional throw and his two best throws have come
in his last two meets.  Dolly is the only other one in the field to have hit 48'0.
He also has his top 2 throws in his last two meets.  Hoosier has three over 46'0.
Northrup actually has the best overall series in the field with 5 throws over 46'0,
but none of his five best throws have come since 4/21.  Allen is the only other
one to have thrown 46'0.  Mefford has the next best series with his top five throws
all falling between 44'5 and 43'10.  9 in the field have thrown 44'0.  11 have topped
43'0.

Discus	1.  Trevor Hoosier	Williamstown
	2.  Jacob Northrup	St. Marys
	3.  Ryan Irvine		Pocahontas
	4.  Brody Strawderman	Tucker
	5.  Nick Parsons	Buffalo
	6.  Wyatt Edwards	Wahama
Hoosier has the top throw in the field and the best overall series.  Northrup is
right in the same ballpark.  Both have a pair of throws over 150'0 with both recording
their throws in their last two meets.  Hoosier had the better Regional throw. Northrup
beat Hooser at the LKC.  Hoosier has five throws of at least 144'0, while Northrup 
only has three.  Irvine has the next best throw, and his top two throws have occurred
in the last two meets.  Strawderman has a better overall series than Irvine, but
his three 140'0 throws all occurred 4/21 or earlier.  Parsons has the next best 
throw and series with four throws over 132'0.  Edwards has the next best throw and
a pair over 130'0.
