Now for a little guess work.
Biggest question is what will Santa Rosa’s Kirsten Carter compete in.
Sure she is very likely the best sprinter this area has ever had but unless she has been working on the pole vault that is about the only event she couldn’t score points in.
Since Carter will be limited to four events Maria Carrillo should have no problem winning yet another pennant.
She has spent her top efforts this year on the 100, 200 and long jump, and more than likely she will enter those, but she has dropped the 100 in the past at the end of the year to move up to the 400 so only time will tell there. She makes any relay team she runs on so much better but she is also one of the top four throwers in the Empire and could pull in low energy expending points in either of those.
Or would she try and be the first girl in NBL history to pull off the 400, 100, 200 triple?
Only reason that would be tough is the fact that Maria Carrillo’s Amani Baker is a legitmate flyer in the 100 as well and after a 400 a Baker upset in the 100 would not be that much of an upset.
Plus these two are likely to match up in the long jump which has been a Carter strong hold but Baker is improving fast.
Maria Carrillo will pick up a lot of points in the distance races lead by Aimee Armstrong and Sydnie Rivas.
Windsor’s Maddie Call is the defending Champ in both hurdle races but Maria Carrillo’s Habibah Sanusi will try and take those away this year.
Like the boys Carrillo seems to have all the firepower in the relays.
Call and Santa Rosa’s Grace Alchemy are the only five foot high jumpers so far and could put on a nice battle there.
Not so funny things can happen in the vault but it’s looking like a close one between defending Champ Audrey Stalcup of Montgomery and Savannah Nied of Maria Carrillo.
Montomery’s Emma Orosz and Cardinal Newman’s Anna Hartmann have literally distanced themselves from the others in the triple jump.
Montomery’s Alexia Onate will try and defend her discus title but four others could be right on her heals.
Casa Grande’s Annalea Hanakaewe has had the big put of the year in the shot but will need her best to win.
Like the boys the top six in this meet move on and in some cases some very good 7th placers will see their seasons end.
Update
As stated what I wrote above was written before I saw the entries.
A few adjustments now that I have seen them.
Carter is entered in the 100, 200, SP, DT.
Only change for her now is if they decide to drop one or two of the throws to run her on relay teams but I’m guessing she will not.
This also means the 400 should be an exciting battle between Maria Carrillo’s Assata Polk and Kiely Rowe.
The long jump is now Baker as the heavy favorite.
Call will not be in the high jump making it that much easier for Alchemy.
