1 team in the top 9 won't make it to Obetz. Look at those 6 powerhouse Central OH squads packed in there. Pickerington is going to be an absolute war for those 5 team qualifiers. Sucks to be Olentangy Liberty or Scioto...
Not necessarily Scioto. They only have 1 senior so they will have another chance next year. If they can develop a new low stick in the off season, they could do something special
Let me rephrase. It sucks to be them this year. I thought that was sort of implicit in my post, considering I referenced this year's rankings, this years regional meet, and this years rosters.
Definitely going to be pressure for Kilbourne this year. All of their top 5 will need to be on if they want to qualify for state. And it’s their last chance to so since they are so senior-heavy
Well, they did beat Lancaster, Orange, and Coffman earlier this year. At full strength these guys can do a lot of damage. I'd say only Jerome and maybe Orange can match them 1-2, and no one has a better 1-2-3. In a big meet that helps a ton. With Smith always in the top 2 or 3, and Miller (WK#2) beating Taylor (Lancaster #1) at Lancaster and both Saketh and Shroff (Orange #1 and #2) at Berlin, they have very high ceiling. Because of this, I think it'll be Lancaster and Orange battling for that last qualifying spot out of Pickerington. But you're right, they need be healthy and on.
But really... who CAN afford to have an off day? If the Westerville North guys lay an egg, they'll get bounced by all of these teams.
The team that has an off day is going to be the team that doesn’t qualify
Anyone know of a link for the SW Ohio districts instead of the one through FinishTiming? The new format of FinishTiming sucks if you're trying to follow online. Unfortunately I think that they are the timing company for all regional meets and the state meet.
It hasn't been the same since they integrated with MileSplit.
14 races at Hilliard today. With the rains from earlier in the week I imagine that course will be pretty chewed up by the the D1 boys races come around. It seems like other sites could have also been used.
Finish Timing really sucks. Hate it when have the meet.
FinishTiming was the gold standard until they started working with MileSplit. This year especially has been terrible. I really hope we aren’t sitting around waiting for results at Regionals and State. No excuse to not have live results starting next week.
