Any way you look at it, it's wide open. BA, McCallie, MBA, MUS and Baylor all could win it. Probably won't be more than a 10 point spread between first and second, and could come down to the final relay.

Philipa from BA is a great athelete. I've seen her twice this year and she is plain TOUGH. Got to go with the almighty HH to take the title (allthough if BA won I might smile somewhat)....speaking of HH, Allie Bohannon is becoming one of the best "milers" in the state's history. I think we should all wish her well. As far as the BA (young) men......well, they are "BA"....I HOPE YOU BEAT MBA to the pulp that of course they are....O.K., so you are a very fine program....but BA is kicking your butt right now....GO IRISH

frhsrules, I love you. Just kidding. But I like what you had to say about Brentwood Academy. I believe they are finally poised to take their school's 11th Boys Track title this year, though it will be very difficult.

 

Congrats to Philipa!! I'm in no way surprised that she won, but it is a wonderful accomplishment by a wonderful person.

I don't know this Philipa...but she exudes humility along with her incredible physical presence (for a young girl/woman)....When I saw Annie last year, i did not get the same impression. Humility goes so far for people when it comes to fans and accolades....this Philipa needs to keep up with those who have taught her....they are teaching her well. Oh, and I don't want to knock Annie...the girl is cute, tough and seems to be a major fireball of a personality (we all work together). BA men are very tough......High school track and swimming are the 2 most underrated sports in the country.....both perpetuate health for the individual...that is what our country and world need!!!...(we might finally get along...and go watch a good track meet staring Philipa)...
