When you're scouting the state meet, you have to take many factors into consideration. Did a team run easier at their regional because they weren't facing as strong a challenge there? Did one region run on a much tougher course than the other three (*cough cough freedom park cough*)? Did a team put up huge times at a competitive early- to mid-season meet on a fast course, only to see their performances tail off later in the season? (This is one case where recency bias is useful rather than destructive.)
As I looked through all the regional results and season rankings to get prepared for announcing tomorrow, several things jumped out at me as interesting possibilities. Are all of these things probable? Certainly not. But they're possible, and they will make Saturday much more entertaining if they come true. Plus, if any of them DO come true, it makes me look smart and gives me something extra to talk about on the PA system.
