Predictions For 2008 Season

[CoachSpongeBob]

I did something real quick, and I don't mean to leave names off, but there will be missing names I am sure of kids that will be factors in outdoor track & field.

But here is a list of kids from each school that could be factors. Let me know if I missed anyone, or if someone on this list is NOT doing outdoor.

(how did I come up with this list - I took the top 3 returners in each event from last year, took the top 3 finishers from the indoor county championships unless one of them I know is not doing outdoor, and I also put some names down as mentioned in this thread that could be factors). I also listed a few things about them (why they made this list)

[runner3]

Very interesting. Appreciate the hard work and i will say it again FSK looks scary.

[vyse405]

yeah i do have to agree fsk boys look good on paper. but liberty, and westminster always have a lot of kids come out so they will have a lot of talent to pull from. and don't count out the indoor county champs winters mill either.

and btw i've been training through to outdoor and this week has sucked really bad. tuesday i was out hurdling in the rain and today i was out hurdling in the cold and wind. not good conditions at all.

[vyse405]

coach spongebob, i saw chris antol under liberty on your list. is there any particular reason he didn't do indoor? because i personally thought he had graduated.

and on westminster's list, phil page graduated last year so he won't return.

[CoachSpongeBob]

Chris had mono at the beginning of indoor season.

The county results had Phil listed as a junior (although I had thought he graduated). I will have to fix that.

[runner3]

Anyone care to predict who will win what event.

[snarfmaster07]

Its going to be a close call in the 4x8 for WM and Liberty.

[polevaulter]

As far as I know Kelly Purcell and Katie Jones for WM do not do Outdoor Track, at least that haven't the past two years.....

[runner3]

I think the 4x100 between WM and FSK will be good as well. Also the 4x200 should be good as well, LIB, FSK WM AND NC we will see who does the best.

[vyse405]

100- Issa Connell/ Brad Martz -NC/FSK
200- David Thomas/ Issa Connell -FSK/NC
400- Alan Jaeger/ Pat Wachter -West/Cent
800- Pat Wachter/ Jeff Hohl -Cent
1600- Arthur Leathers -FSK
3200- Arthur Leathers -FSK
110 HH- Evan Huggins -WM
300 IH- Stefan Mitchell/ Timothy Zepp -NC/West
High Jump- Tommy Butler -FSK
Long Jump- Brad Boyd -Cent
Triple Jump- Mark Young -NC
Pole Vault- Tom Kable/ Chris Wagner -West/SC
Shot Put- Brendan Morales -West
Discus- Brendan Morales -West
4x100- FSK/NC/WM
4x200- Too close to call
4x400- Too close to call
4x800- WM/Liberty/Cent

I think i got every event.

[etb]

How do you figure Wachter and Hohl will be 1st in the 800 when Leathers and Frock were 1st and second for pretty much the entire season. I dont even think their times were within 3 seconds of Frock and Leathers

[hasercentury06]

I think Jeff and Pat have run much faster splits in the 4 x 8 than their open 8 times. That's a reason to think they might win the county 800.

[vyse405]

well leathers will have to run the 800, 2 events after the 3200.
frock will have fresh legs but i have confidence that one of the century guys will win it. just got a feeling i guess. watch out for leland baldwin of westminster though. i think he will place in a couple events in outdoor.

[snarfmaster07]

Ohh snarf, I don't know guys. There's this kid on the Winters Mill team called Scott Hutchitson and he is been doing some pretty tough training with his time off. I think he has a chance to win the open 800 and possibly even the mile.
