Just like last year I it was a really close race between Zillah, Charles Wright, and Goldendale...I think it's pretty much going to be about the same this year, except with Kings, Coupeville, Zillah. Coupeville is returning Kyle King(I believe thats his name), who controlled the 1600, and 3200 last year, and they always have a good sprinter. Chittim graduated, so I'm not so positive about that sprinter comment. Umm, Kings is always strong, they have alot of good athletes, considering their 'Boys' School, has more kids than most 1A schools have total. They have alot of athletes there, Davis graduating will hurt them, but I still think they'll be strong. Zillah is going to rely fully on the shoulders of Sybouts and Friedrich, obviously. Sybouts looks to be the favorite in the short sprints, and up there in the Javelin, he just needs to find a 4th event, now that Leos and Ross graduated, their 4x100 doesnt look to well. Friedrich, on a good day, could easily take the Long Jump, he got beat by what 1 inch last year, on Cleveland's (gdale)last jump. That was a little dissapointing. He could make noise in the Triple, he finished 4th last year, and will probably just get better. Other than that they have some underclassmen that might be able to compete at higher levels this year. No promises though. With Sybouts capable of bringing home 30 points on his own (100, 200, Jav), and Friedrich bringing home 15-20, depending on the day (LJ, TJ, maybe HJ)...There is between 45-50 points between the two of them, if they can fins somebody to step up in other events, say the 800, 400, 1600, etc, they might be able to pull away with another state championship...
Zillah - 1st 50pts
Kings - 2nd 46pts
Coupeville 3rd 44pts
Thats my guess...with about a 5 point swing between the bunch...
