States Predictions

So over the next couple days my posts will be about predictions for the state championships. First off I just want to throw this out there. I am a distance guy at heart (at which point everyone reading this screams out duh) and so I will try to preview all the events on the blog but honestly I know that my girls predictions and my boys predictions for everything below 800 meters will probably kinda suck. But I'll hit you guys with my best shot.

I also wanted to just throw this out there. If you think you can name more state medalists than etrain, get in on the prediction contest. I will predict every events state medalist on both the boys and girls side. Your job is to pick however many events you would like to predict, pick 8 names from each event that you think will medal, and then post up your predictions up here on the blog. Just like in XC order doesn't matter (but it makes it more fun if you predict in order) so throw down the names and see if you can get more medalists than me. Should be a fun time. Also the fantasy draft deadline is midnight to tonight, so let me know before then if you are interested.

Thanks.

So today I will start off my predictions with those which I don't really know much about. Which means I will be do all my girls predictions right here, right now. I won't give too many reasons for why I have certain girls where I do so feel free to ask me about it in a comment, but no guarentees I'll have a good answer. I'll leave brief comments next to picks that might seem a little out there.

Please don't laugh at me when these turn out badly, mostly just pick favorites gonna be honest here. I just wanted to put these down so that people could predict whatever events they liked and try and beat me (which hopefully you all will). But yea, enjoy the performance list and get pumped for states.
