3. Miranda Dick - Raymore-Peculiar

2. Mikayla Reed - Washington

1. Victoria Findley - Blue Springs South

Findley and Reed, and possibly Miranda Dick, will go head-to-head throughout this thing, with Findley and Reed taking it all the way up Firehouse Hill probably as they go into the finish. Findley will win this one by 5 seconds, running 17:40 and Reed will come across in 17:45. Miranda Dick will be 18:25 and will be followed by about 5 girls very closely - probably within 15 seconds. We are pretty sure about the top 2, but Miranda Dick, coming off an 18:11 on Saturday, could be looking to throw a wrench in everything. 

Teams (projected points)

5. Park Hill South (139)

4. Parkway West (135)

3. Lee's Summit West (124)

2. Blue Springs South (121)

1. Raymore-Peculiar (109)

It will be a tight one through 2-5, but we think Raymore-Peculiar is running too well right now to lose. Blue Springs South could be as high as 2 but as low as 6 depending on their day. Park Hill South could also be a sneaky pick for second, but we think a Lee's Summit West 2nd is more likely. The team race is just as tight as last year so absolutely anything could happen.
