metro championships

gphstrack, how are things over there?

Hasn't he told you? They have the 2nd best team in the state based on a race over a month ago. Geez, doesn't it make it obvious that USJC is better because they came close to FRA about 50 days ago?

[stealthccrunner3200]

nothing has been decided and nothing is a lock. DL is favored, yes. FRA has been sub par at best sometimes this season, very inconsistent. it seems that the other 2 teams with a shot are USJC and JCS. i dont know much about them ive just seen there times so whose to say they cant win it all?

[TrentDilfer?]

I don't mind people making predictions, that's fine. But using a meet from over a month ago, let alone using a meet in which FRA had a better average time than USJC, is a ridiculously terrible argument.

fra hasnt had a team finish lower than 2nd in what seems like forever. the streak ends next year not this year

[gphstrack]

i apologize for getting everyone's feathers ruffled.

 

i just like to see you middle tn boys get all worked up by questioning your mission for intergalactic domination.

 

in response to your question coniglio, things are tapering off just wonderfully. we're really stoked about regionals on thursday. i think university has got the team title pretty much locked and if it all works out as planned, we'll be battling e-town for 2nd. clabo should win pretty easily - i don't think anyone is even close.

 

my region 1 predictions:

boys:

a/aa - david clabo

teams: usjc, e-town, gphs

 

aaa - josh vasquez

teams: morristown west, d-b, science hill

 

girls:

a/aa - it'll come down to the kick between mcamis and basconi of e-town and davenport and brosmore of usjc (if you don't believe me check out the trailblazer results)

teams: usjc, e-town, ???

 

aaa: haley moody

teams: morristown west (somewhere near a perfect score), science hill, d-b

Not necessarily true, but it will be probably the weakest team depth wise they've had since 1998. One injury next year, and they're done. FRA always loses good runners, but they always replace them as well, so people could step up. That's how they've been able to win or get 2nd all these years.

The always competitive schools go through a short dry spell every now and then. We (usually higher than 5th, last year 6th) are having the worst team since past 1995 (first xc title). Elizabethton is slower this year in year's past. USJC and JCS are coming up. Changing of the guard for a while anyone?

dont count on it...guess whose gonna be great again next year- DL

[Coniglio]

 

Year after that?

 

 

Looked at rankings. DL's top 2 are both coming back.

Johnson is a Junior

Musick is a Sophomore

 

the next 2 are both seniors.

i think in a year or two it might finally be mlks turn to be the team to beat in region 5. right now they have a junior and 2 freshman at the top followed by a senior, a junior, and another freshman. then number 7 i think is a freshman also but they dont really have a consistent number 7 looking at the metro results. their number 7 at metro was a junior but they had a freshman run faster in the jv race and he will probably be the one running at region. so, with 4 freshman and 2 juniors in the top 7 they have a bright future

bottom line, it looks like the top teams will still be in the middle even if fra is hitting a bit of a slump

also if you go look at the jv results from metro, dl has a lot more young guys that with their good coaching should continue to progress into strong a/aa runners

[Laydown]

it hurt...alot. steeple stinks. and brentwood needs to have their own seperate ROC-esque race or something, it's just not fair (maybe DL should go too)

that steeple coarse is a challenge.
