A-AA Boys Individual Predictions
100 M 1. Chris Claudio Ravenswood 2. Jeff Lemasters Magnolia 3. Roger Snyder Wheeling Central 4. Jeremy Dosier Winfield 5. DeWayne Smith Weir 6. Donald Amaker Bluefield Claudio is a heavy favorite, but he was a heavy favorite last year as well, when Lemasters pulled off the upset.
200 M 1. Chris Claudio Ravenswood 2. Jamie Dove Williamstown 3. Jeff Lemasters Magnolia 4. Jeremy Dosier Winfield 5. Jonathan Feddock Shady Spring 6. Roger Snyder Wheeling Central Claudio is again the heavy favorite, but conditioning is a concern. Claudio doesn't train full-time for track, and that hindered him last year, but he's run several meets this year as opposed to only regionals last year.
400 M 1. Jamie Dove Williamstown 2. Nate Joy Williamstown 3. Jonathan Feddock Shady Spring 4. Rich Shilling Oak Glen 5. Jeremy Howard Buffalo 6. Dusty Dent Gilmer The first four should be pretty close, but Dove has had the most consistent season and should come out on top of a relatively weak field.
800 M 1. Josh Watson Magnolia 2. Nate Joy Williamstown 3. Jody Morgan Sissonville 4. Derek Dailey Doddridge 5. Dusty Dent Gilmer 6. Derek Miles Winfield If Watson is going to get beat, here is where it will happen. However, it's not likely. He's the defending champion, and his conditioning is good enough to recover easily from the 3200 and 1600.
1600 M 1. Josh Watson Magnolia 2. West Garrett East Hardy 3. Derek Dailey Doddridge 4. Jody Morgan Sissonville 5. Adam Cross Sissonville 6. Zach Warren Charleston Catholic Watson should have an easy time in this event. Second place is wide open. Most of the contenders will have run the 3200 the night before. Dailey and Morgan will be fresher, making them prime candidates for the second spot. Garrett has already run 4:35 the morning after running a 9:57, though.
3200 M 1. Josh Watson Magnolia 2. Adam Cross Sissonville 3. West Garrett East Hardy 4. Denny Hayes Doddridge 5. Zach Warren Charleston Catholic 6. Shaun Spielman Berkeley Springs Watson should again dominate. Cross was the 2nd place finisher at the state cross country meet and has run a 9:53 this season.
110 HH 1. Jon Huffman Ritchie 2. Doug Dillaman Tyler 3. Kirk Wilson Magnolia 4. Levi Hall Fayetteville 5. Tony Feaster Petersburg 6. Wes Morton Winfield Huffman will run away from the field.
300 IH 1. Jon Huffman Ritchie 2. Kirk Wilson Magnolia 3. Wolfi Lanzer Williamstown 4. Levi Hall Fayetteville 5. Jason Jones Ritchie 6. Tony Feaster Petersburg See Jon run. See Jon win.
4x100 M 1. Magnolia 2. Winfield 3. Bluefield 4. Shady Spring 5. Braxton 6. Bridgeport Magnolia and Winfield may be close, but no one else should be.
4x200 M 1. Magnolia 2. Winfield 3. Shady Spring 4. Tyler 5. Braxton 6. Weir Magnolia and Winfield should again run away from the field.
4x400 M 1. Williamstown 2. Magnolia 3. Sissonville 4. Ritchie 5. Frankfort 6. Bridgeport The weak open 400 Meter field carries over into the relay as we have a weak 4 X 400 field. Williamstown should win this going away.
4x800 M 1. Williamstown 2. Magnolia 3. Doddridge 4. Gilmer 5. Ritchie 6. Winfield Doddridge owns the best time coming in, but a fully loaded Williamstown team can run around an 8:15, and Magnolia always comes up with a very strong 4 X 800 team.
Shuttle 1. Ritchie 2. Tucker 3. Winfield 4. Oak Glen 5. Tyler 6. Ravenswood Ritchie has Jon Huffman running the anchor leg of the relay which gives them an edge over everyone else. Oak Glen is a threat to win if Matt Volino is back.
L Jump 1. Chris Claudio Ravenswood 2. Justin Bowers Pendleton 3. Jamie Dove Williamstown 4. Derek Palmer Magnolia 5. Doug Dillaman Tyler 6. Jeremy Hoops Winfield Claudio is the clear favorite, but Bowers won the event last year.
H Jump 1. Jon Huffman Ritchie 2. Rich Shilling Oak Glen 3. Jared Davis St. Marys 4. Tony Clackler Midland Trail 5. Greg Preston Magnolia 6. Cliff Snodgrass Braxton Huffman and Shilling are a step above the rest. Huffman has not been beaten this year.
Discus 1. Charles Legg Liberty Raleigh 2. Lucas Henger Ritchie 3. Joey Hunt East Bank 4. Jeremy Richards Doddridge 5. DeWayne Smith Weir 6. Carl Gable Lincoln Legg and Henger get the top spots based on consistency.
Shot 1. Chris Nunn East Bank 2. T.J. Watson South Harrison 3. Eric Bibb Mount Hope 4. Scott Cunningham Winfield 5. Nathan Skaggs Mount Hope 6. Jeff Miller Williamstown Any of the top 3 could win the event, but Nunn is the only competitor to have topped 52' this year.
P Vault 1. Eric Fenton Williamstown 2. Robert Tant Winfield 3. Ryan Parsons Williamstown 4. Conner Robertson Winfield 5. Ryon Anderson Liberty Harrison 6. Jason Buttrey Williamstown The Vaulting field is very strong with 7 competitors that have topped 13' this season. Fenton and Tant each have vaulted over 14' this season, with Fenton having a 1/2" edge.
