About the Power Rankings
These scores are calculated from our individual rankings from 2009, with athletes who graduated excluded. Notice relay teams are not scored in this preview edition, since some legs have since graduated. The first place returning athlete in each event is given 10 points on down to 1 point for 10th place. This gives us a good idea of the team's depth and their up-front strength. It does not take into account incoming freshman who may contribute or any other subjective factors, such as transfers.
2A Summary
Salisbury looks to have an edge on Polk County and Starmount. Each of these teams looks to be led by a middle distance runner which could make point swings very likely and interesting. Starmount is also expecting big things from their jumper, Antonio McClelland. (*Take note that John Wolfe has 2 800m scores for some reason) The Salisbury girls are a big favorite with Cummings HS in 2nd. Cummings won yet another state indoor title, but Salisbury looks very tough during the spring season. They have a little of everything with the Shields sisters in distance and sprints and jumps, too.
