Clint Pevril's State Meet Preview
Will Mtn Home boys spoil Rogers run at a 10th state title?????
Will Bentonville's Kelly Bryson win her 4th state AAAAA championship?
Can AAA Berryville win both girls & boys team titles....again?
Siloam Springs realistically could run away with boys AAAA title with a
perfect score????
Kathy Tadlock of the AAA says that we will be having a record number of
competitors at the meet this year. I don't have an exact count but after
talking to her today, it will likely be more that 1000 entries in the 4
divisions of boys and girls.
The boys and girls should be a stronger field than last year as well
because most of the top 25 runners that was on our all star team last year
were underclassmen. Some of the individuals for the girls to watch are:
Kelley Bryson of Bentonville who has run 10:47 for a 2 mile CC race this
season is probably the best runner in the state this year. However, some
other girls are certainly trying to overcome her. Some of the top runners,
regardless of class are:
Dawn Crawford of Mountain Home AAAAA
Amanda Owensby of Bentonville AAAAA
Candace Bowling of Siloam Springs AAAA
Amber Dean of Watson Chapel AAAA
Candace Cross of Crossett AAAA
Laura Insell of Batesville AAAA
Jamie Owensby of Bentonville AAAAA
Gina Messina of Bryant AAAAA
Heidi Vondermehden of Harrison AAAA
Tiffany Dotson of Harrison AAAA
Whitney Barr of Berryville AAA
Candace James of Bryant AAAAA
Meghan Urguhart of Mt. St. Mary AAAAA
Jessica Harris of Pottsville AA
So the favorites for each division would be Bryson in AAAAA, Bowling
in AAAA, Barr, in AAA, & Harris in AA.
The team favorites for AAAAA would be Bentonville followed by Bryant,
Mountain Home, and Fayetteville in no particular order.
In AAAA, Harrison is a strong favorite to win yet another
championship. They are followed by Lake Hamilton, likely no. 2 position,
and Watson Chapel and Hot Springs, and Crossett also having a chance at a
high finish.
In AAA, Berryville is again the favorite with DeQueen pretty close
behind them.
In AA, Decatur is the favorite but could be challenged by Eureka
Springs and Magnet Cove.
The boys field should be strong also with Carlos Arrizon of
Berryville establishing himself as the number one individual in the state
but Eric Gross of Mountain Home and Jon Allen of Newport pushing him for
that position. The following would be the likely top few individuals
overall:
Carlos Arrizon of Berryville AAA
Jon Allen of Newport AAAA
Eric Gross of Mountain Home AAAAA
Kyle Cleveland of J.A. Fair AAAAA
Scott Swearingen of Rogers AAAAA
Peter Marston of Mountain Home AAAAA
Francisco Andrade of Rogers AAAAA
Logan Thomas of Mountain Home AAAAA
Zach Hill of Siloam Springs AAAA
Matt Sheets of Cabot AAAAA
Ryan Wilson of Cabot AAAAA
So the favorites in each division would be: Gross in AAAAA, Allen in
AAAA, Arrizon in AAA, and Brandon Moore of Acorn in AA.
The team favorites should be Rogers in AAAAA with Mountain Home and
Russellville close behind. In AAAA, Siloam Springs is a solid favorite
with Lake Hamilton and Crossett battling it out for no. 2.
In AAA, Berryville is a solid favorite with Eureka Springs not too far
behind. Don't rule out Central Arkansas Christian and Warren either.
In AA, Pottsville and Acorn are likely too battle it out for the top
position.
These are the favorites as I see them based on the results of meets
that have been turned to the ATCA website throughout the season. Other
coaches may have some other favorites. At any rate, it should be an
interesting and strong state meet.
This should also produce a stronger all star team this year as well.
That will be at U. of A. Fayetteville again this year next Saturday Nov.
13th at Noon. This year the all star meet will be against Oklahoma,
Kansas, & Missouri. Again, Arkansas will pick 25 runners in the girls and
boys divisions. These 25 runners will be chosen from all 4 divisions of
the state meet this Saturday as well as season long performances. The head
coach for the all star teams this year will be Clint Pevril of Mountain
Home High School. The all star team is sponsored by the Arkansas Track
Coaches Association.
