On the girls side, there are also many interesting things to watch. Sehome is the heavy favorite, but the intrigue is to see where this teams times will stand compared to past seasons and can they get all top runners clicking on the same day for the first time this year. The Battle for second should be very tight between Burlington and Bellingham - both contenders and likely favorites for trophies at state, the season to date has been a little below what both had probably suspected - look for them to both to use the Conference Meet to make things right and springboard themselves into the post season. 1A power Meridian has Sydney Gray back after she has missed the vast majority of the season with a stress fracture. If she comes back strong, Meridian puts themselves back into contention for a State Trophy. With Gray back in reasonable form, Meridian should be able to hold off fellow 1A Lynden Christian. Projecting things out, their is an extremely tight battle for 5th place, with 5th-8th place projecting Lynden Christian, Mt. Baker, Ferndale, and Squalicum to all be within 7 points of each other. Look for Gappa and Pittis to battle for the individual title, with Meggison, Norton, and Oviatt battling over the 3rd through 5th spots. Beyond that, the question will be can Jensen, Hielkema, Gray, Capron, and Hatcher break up a slew of Sehome runners (Sullivan, Cybula, Hannah, Ringler, Huffman, Clark, Anderson) battling for top ten spots.
