[/quotes]Jumper & Gartman will give Nobert & Murray a run for their money in D-II. Hannah Runyon-Hass could be a threat too...I saw her run her freshman year, and she looked like she could be an excellent runner

Yes. So he is now 34 seconds slower then Rainey and McKelvey in a mile...as I said, he won't touch them

Wrong Maybe I'm seeing something wrong, but here are track and xc PR's for each according to milesplit Rainey- 1600m- 4:17.48, 2 mile- 9:21, 5k- 15:34. McKelvey- 1 mile- 4:17.54, 3200m- 9:07, 5k- 15:10. McKeen- 1600m-4:40, 3200m- 10:05, 5k- 16:31. Murphy- 1600m- 5:01, 3200m- 10:31.4, 5k- 17:14.8 Maybe the 5k times might be on easier or harder courses, so the times differ, but the track times explain it all...Maybe I'm missing something completely, but McKeen and Murphy won't touch Rainey or McKelvey

MLK Boys have a very good chance to get the boys title. They have all but one returning, and one of their strong runners was out with an injury for most of last year. Any predictions for D-II?

I've never even heard of them, and I highly doubt they can run with Rainey or McKelvey...I'm going to have to pick Rainey with the upset though

True, but still gotta keep an eye out for young and carmichael, if they both chose to run it...

Yeah the 8 in DII is really deep this year with the top 6 seeds under 1:59, but I'm going to have to go with Bill Matthews, Riley Young, or Carmichael Anybody think Bill Matthews will be pressured in the 16?

Predictions for 4x800, 800, 1600, and 3200 at state? For the 4x800 I've got to go with Ensworth for D-II and Brentwood for AAA after hearing they are both capable of sub-8, but Cordova is also looking strong, and you've got to expect something good from Oak Ridge and Maryville again... Is Bill Matthews going to repeat the triple? Matt Sonnenfeldt win the 3200 and 1600? Also, any predictions for 4x4?

Congrats to both teams...that's flying Does anyone know who matched up with who? splits? I want to hear more about this one

What about predictions for D-II and AAA? Bill Matthews with the triple? Sonnenfeldt with the 16 and 32 victory?

No, that's still wrong...The top three seeds were Garrett Carmichael, Gehrig Nelson, and Breon Dixon...none of which ran...also bill and matt couldn't have ran in it because they aren't middle tn, and the great 8 is only middle tn runners

Great 8 was missing out on most of the strongest 800m runners in middle TN, considering that the top 3 seeds scratched, and some other strong runners didn't even submit times to the meet.

I heard that Brentwood and Ensworth were setting up a 4x800m and go head to head, hoping to both break 8 minutes...Is this even true?

I'm pretty sure carmichael didn't run at austin peay, and he didnt run the 800m at great 8, just the mile...I was there.

When did mahaney beat carmichael in the 800?

The Great 8 seems to be looking stacked this year, especially in the 800m and 1600m. In the 800m, 7 out of the 8 guys are under 2:00, so it should be a very fun race to watch. The 1600m is also extremely deep. I don't know if I've ever seen the great 8 so deep in the distances, and can't wait to watch this meet. Any predictions that want to be put out there before the races begin???

Ensworth also had a great show. Both the boys and girls teams are very young, but the girls are lacking sprints and throws, and the boys are lacking sprints and jumps big time. "Props" to the boys throwing and distance there, and to the girls jumps and distance.

Will Bill Matthews win the triple at state again?...if not, who will take him on and in what event?

Never heard of them...who are they and what are their times?

Or Breon Dixon from BA in the 800

I don't think Mahaney was on the 4x8. I think it was Jake Rainey, Garrett Carmichael, Breon Dixon, and another ensworth kid, but I may be wrong

Will Bill Matthews take the triple again. If not, who can stop him and in what event?

What schools and individuals are looking good for the season for Division II
