12 O’Hara 10:50.48 (Garrity)
13 GFS 10:51.04 (Waterman)

This should be a great race with Lefebure, I hope, running the 12 and getting the race out quickly. I see him opening up in around 3:08-3:10 with Wissahickon not far off as well as Pitt CC. O’Hara should put up a good start with two very solid first legs assuming they get a top 400 runner in their relay. After the 800 legs I think Wissahickon will have a solid lead if Cho runs the 800 leg. Following not far behind should be Henderson. I am not sure how the middle legs will do for Pittsburgh. The anchor legs should be stacked with talent, but it will be a matter of which team is close enough to hawk down the two front runners. I think Ned Willig and a completely fresh Great Valley DMR will take down the gold with a solid anchor leg from Willig, putting the team around 10:20 for the day. I see Wissahickon taking second, with Henderson nipping at their heels for third also in the low 10:20s. Behind them I expect a big anchor carry from Campbell to get the team to 4th and then perhaps a surprise performance from Boyertown down around 10:30 for 5th neck and neck with 6th place Pittsburgh Central Catholic. PCC has a chance to finish higher if their middle legs have big days. I see Wilson giving CHA a big anchor leg to rocket the team into 7th. I think he will be around 4:15. Finally I see Gil holding on to get the team 8th with around a 4:21 anchor leg.
