Using the powerful MileSplit database of race performances and photos we decided to do a state preview of 10 athletes in each race that we think fans should be watching for. We went out on a limb and also made our predictions for the top 5 indivduals and top 3 teams. These are simply our predictions, and as you all know, the final outcome will be determined not by the pundits but by the student athletes who have earned the right to compete at the state meet.
