Completely understand the individual picks. Perkins, Patterson, and Blitton will make a great race at District, Metro, Region, and state. Patterson will start slow, and kick it in like always. He always does that, and actually passed Wolfe and Perkins at Region in the last 200 meters and beat them by 5 seconds. Almost caught Blitton and would have if he had 30 more meters. Blitton is a very good runner. Just had a bad race at state. Is my pick next year for individual winner. Perkins is another very quality runner. Him and Blitton are much better overall runners than Patterson, but Patterson's kick is sick and that's why he is a good runner because his speed is just better than everyone else's. Those three should battle every race next year. My picks going Blitton, Patterson, then Perkins. And then Brummit somewhere behind them. Also another runner from an a/aa middle region school that will be good next year, but i won't say who it is. He will be a sleeper and really stepped up at state this year.
