2A District 1/2 Preview

UPDATE: 10-05 - confirmed that Sammamish will not be running a full, scoring girls team, as they have only registered 3 runners for the meet.  The same three that ran in the varsity race at their Conference meet.  The potential effect would be a possible point detriment to Burlington because if RaynJoy Norton had slipped in front of Silva and Silva counted in the scoring it could have given Burlington a point advantage on Cedarcrest.  But, with four state spots, it is unlikely this will have any effect on the teams qualifying for state.

Projected District Results.  Just a rough estimate to see how things look going in.  This is based mainly from merging the conference meets with time adjustments for courses.  An occasional additional adjustment here or there.  Northwest Conference Course used as base zero.  40 second adjustment for Cascade Conference Course  at South Whidbey and 10 seconds from Kingco at Lake Sammammish – don’t know reason why, but Lake Sammammish course did not appear to run as fast as it usually does.  Cascade Conference adjustment is always difficult as the conference meet is usually pretty spread out, likely affecting times more than just a course adjustment.  Again rough estimates as no other major adjustments were made for off days and no graduated adjustment used.  Some teams take their conference meets pretty easy and some teams pretty much guaranteed state berths take a more conservative approach at Districts.  Plus, some kids simply run out of their heads to make it to state, so should be interesting…
