middle

 

i agree. i think there is a pretty good chance of a middle region sweep on the guys side this year or at least 2/3 with brentwood, brentwood academy, and lipscomb (or maybe fra) and in a/aa i predict the three qualifiers from that region all finish in the top 5 this year improving from last years all in the top 7

well there isnt much ecourage ment in the east huh

well lets go with whoever shows up at state and is OR considerd east or middle?

[AEtheridge]

We're East!

 

I'd say for XC you'd have to go with East over Middle, since you had OR, MW, and McCallie win last year.

Team-wise, it looks like this:

 

In AAA Girls: 6 of the top 10 teams from East

In AAA Boys: 5 of the top 10 teams from the East

 

In A-AA Girls: 8 of the top 10 teams from the East

In A-AA Boys: 6 of the top 10 teams from the East (and the next 2 as well.

 

In DII Girls and Boys it's a little harder to compare because there are so few teams there, but 1st and 3rd in the boys and 2nd and 4th in the girls is pretty good.

 

That's one way to measure it based solely on last year.

 

If you look at the Big Dog individuals, well, they come from the Memphis area and the Nashville area. The Memphis mojo is fairly recent , except for those good CBHS and Frayser teams of long ago, but Nashville has long been good.

 

On balance, I'd go for East. A good team always stays home out of Region II AAA, for example. Last year it was West who stayed home, even though they ended up with a 9:43 3200 runner, a 4:31 miler, and an 8:16 4x8 in track. Two years ago OR girls stayed home even though we'd been ranked in the top 10 all year.

And I believe the East has the harder courses... Victor Ashe Park. Chickamauga Dam. The 2 hardest courses in TN no matter what those Steeplechasers say.
