55m: tight race . . . Ebony Scott, SE Raleigh (NC #1 tie with Gabrielle Gray)
3200m: Lexie Schustrom, Pinecrest (NC #1)
500m: this should be exciting with at least 3 girls in the running: Goggins, Mungo, Eley-O'Reilly . . . Aeisha Goggins, Riverside (NC #1 indoors)
4x800: Cary (NC #1)
300m: Ariah Graham, Wakefield (NC #1)
1600m: Can't wait for this one, 3 girls very well could go sub-5:00 . . . calling a bit of an upset, Kenyetta Iyevbele, Olympic - despite having the #1 NC time, other 2 (Hoer, George) have faster PR's
1000m: Becca Deloache, Myers Park (NC #1)
4x400m: Wakefield (NC #1)
Team Title: Can Cary's distance cary them? SE Raleigh has plenty of depth! Wakefield is strong and 4x400 could give them the win. Pinecrest will be up there with Hensley and Schustrom. TC Roberson and their distance!
NCRunners.com Prediction: 1st-SE Raleigh; 2nd-Wakefield; 3rd-Pinecrest; 4th-TC Roberson; 5th-Cary
Boys Predictions
Shot Put: Ryan Kelly, Reagan
Long Jump: Jarrett Samuels, Vance (NC #1)
High Jump: Steven Bell, SE Raleigh (NC #1)
Pole Vault: Greg Gilchrist, Millbrook
Triple Jump: Steven Bell, SE Raleigh (NC #1)
55m Hurdles: Sherman Ragland III, Southern Durham (NC #1)
55m: Fuquwan Greene, New Bern
3200m: Tight race here . . . Mohammed Abushouk, Cary
4x800m: Sanderson
500m: Trip Foreman, Wakefield
300m: Fuquwan Greene, New Bern (NC #1)
1600m: Blake Williams, Northern Durham
1000m: Jack Anderson, Reagan
4x400m: Knightdale vs. Ben L. Smith vs. Wakefield . . . Knightdale
Team Title: New Bern has Greene but not as deep as previous years. Wakefield is strong but has to battle Knightdale and Ben L. Smith in similar events. Could Mallory in the 3200 or Austin in the pole vault be the difference? SE Raleigh and Steven Bell will be strong. Southern Durham could do well with Ragland III and Lawerance. Sanderson will be carried by distance. Also, Reagan could do well with their scattered scoring. I think the top 2 will be very tight.
NCRunners.com Prediction: 1st-SE Raleigh; 2nd-Wakefield; 3rd-Reagan; 4th-Southern Durham; 5th-New Bern/Sanderson
