Mid-Season Reportby Adam Kedge, |

State Meet Information: 5A Boys: Despite not having the overall strength as years past the Gallup
Bengals have proven to be the team to beat in 5A again in `03. No suitable
contender has stepped up against the `02 champs that have depth that no
other team in the classification can match. With the added advantage of
defending the title on their home course, the Bengals clearly are the
class of the division. 5A Girls: Sandia has proven to be a contender for the title come November. They are the only team in 5A to have beaten the Gallup Bengals thus far this season. Gallup has taken two of three from the Matadors but each match-up has been close. Eldorado and Rio Rancho will fight it out for the remaining podium spot. Top 3 Teams: Top 5 Individuals: 4A Boys: In their first of four match-up of the season the defending Academy Charger beat the Los Alamos Hilltoppers by a close score of 37 - 44. Both teams have clearly established themselves at the top two programs in the state despite classification. Look for three more close battle, last of which will result in either the `toppers 1st ever title or the Chargers 6th in a row. Top 3 Teams: 4A Girls The Hilltoppers of Los Alamos have taken on all-comers. The undefeated season continues but teams are closing the margin some on the #1 team in the nation. Their closest margin of victory has been the 9-point margin that the Academy Chargers closed to on September 26 at the Albuquerque Academy Invite. Top 3 Teams: 3A Boys The Pojoaque Elks dominance in 3A continues. Despite minimal
amounts of depth on the varsity no other team in 3A has made a push to
contend for the title. The Wingate Bears and Grants Pirates have their
work cut out for them if they plan on making a run at the defending champ
Elks. 3A Girls Like the 3A boys only a handful of teams have established themselves as being able to compete for a state title. Grants has looked the best thus far in 2003. Pojoaque should earn one of the top three spots. Then it is St. Michael’s and Wingate fighting to keep them from being odd-man, odd-women, out. Top 3 Teams: Top 5 Individuals: 2A - A Boys: Zuni and Jemez distanced themselves form the rest of A-2A. One week the Zuni Thunderbirds look great the next it is the Jemez Valley Warriors that impress. In their two head-to-head matches they’ve split victories. Jemez won the last meeting so has the slight edge at this time. Top 3 Teams: Top 5 Individuals: Top 3 Teams: Top 5 Individuals: Top Meets:
