Team Predictions
| Division/Gender | Favorite On Paper | Milestat's Pick | Biggest Key | Predicted Runner-up | Predicted Third Place |
|---|
| 6A Girls | Western Branch | Western Branch | They should be able to tie up this title before the start of the 1600's. Just gotta take care of business in the 100 and 100H. | West Springfield | South Lakes |
| 6A Boys | Western Branch | Western Branch | Gotta score those distance points with Jordan and Osbourne! Every point is going to count in this one. | T.C. Williams | Battlefield |
| 5A Girls | Nansemond River | Nansemond River | Kori Carter's success will definitely spell more points for the Warriors. | Stone Bridge | Highland Springs |
| 5A Boys | L.C. Bird | Atlee | Pole Vault & Cason Gardner will be the keys to this very tight battle. | L.C.Bird | Highland Springs |
| 4A Girls | Deep Creek | Deep Creek | Sprints and sprint relays will be key here for the Hornets. | E.C. Glass | Loudoun County |
| 4A Boys | Loudoun Valley | Loudoun Valley | This will be a textbook version of depth from Loudoun Valley. They just need to do what they do and it should be easy. | E.C. Glass | Blacksburg |
| 3A Girls | Phoebus | Phoebus | Jahnelle Saunders getting the points she is supposed to get will be critical to their success. | Heritage | I.C. Norcom |
| 3A Boys | Western Albemarle | Phoebus | The 400, 300H double will be necessary and very hard for Phoebus. Those two events will decide this team title. | Western Albemarle | Christiansburg |
| 2A Girls | Maggie Walker | Maggie Walker | MC Heinen should be enough solid points to allow for leeway elsewhere. If she takes home 30 points then it will be a wrap for them. | Wilson Memorial | George Mason |
| 2A Boys | Maggie Walker | Maggie Walker | Those distance points and pole vault will be huge for the Green Dragons who will face some tough competition. | Central | Union |
| 1A Girls | Patrick Henry | Patrick Henry | Patrick Henry will pick up points all over the place but the distance points will be the difference makers and momentum changers. | Auburn | Parry McCluer |
| 1A Boys | Auburn | Auburn | Distance points will be the deciding factor here. | Patrick Henry | Lancaster |
