On the girls\' side it look like Sussex has the edge on Brentsville. Brentsville girls had a strong performance at their Obie Calhoun Invitational on April 20. They placed 2nd behind South Lakes and they placed 7 people in the meet which was stacked with strong AAA athletes. Sussex, defending State Champions, also prove that they are strong by beating any Single A girls team thats in their way. They won the West Point Invitational 123-102 (Nandua) which was basically teams that will be in the state meet on June 1 at Lannigan Field. They have a very strong leader in Megan Morrison who has the talent to win every event which she is entered in. Watch out for Sussex/Brentsville Battle on June 1.
On the boys\' side, it\'s basically the same way but it\'s between William Campbell and Amelia, last year runner-ups. William Campbell looks like that they have the upper hand on Amelia because they have more depth than Amelia. Amelia still has Ivan Clark who is very talented in the 100m, 200m, TJ, and LJ. If he can put up 6 to 10 points coming into states the Amelia team will be strong. Don\'t forget there 4x400 team which is always strong. William Campbell does have the depth advantage and look for their star sprinters/jumpers Chauncey Davis and Cedric Peerman to lead the way to a championship.
Now here is my top 3 and the 6th man.
*The 6th is a runner/jumper/thrower who has the chance to come in the top 6 at states*
