Here are some of my insight on the league meets for Track and Field this week so enjoy. The Red meet is on Wednesday, the Gold and Blue meets are on Thursday, and the White meet is on Friday.
Blue @ Farmington
Seaholm
Groves
West Bloomfield
Farmington
Harrison
North Farmington
Boys Insight: This will be an interesting meet because there
are four solid teams in Farmington, West Bloomfield, Groves, and Seaholm. Groves
and Farmington will be huge in the sprints, Seaholm is expected to do some
damage in the field events and distance. There is the West Bloomfield factor,
the Lakers are athletic and talented and can-do damage in the sprints and
relays. Also, Harrison and North Farmington will score some points as well.
Girls Insight: Seaholm looks to be the favorite but keep an
eye on West Bloomfield, they could be the toughest challenger to the Maples.
Groves looks to be the Darkhorse along with the hosts Farmington. Harrison and
North Farmington could score some points as well in this meet.
Prediction: I like Seaholm in the Girls because of their
long and mid distance. In the boys, I like West Bloomfield in a tight race with
Farmington, Groves, and Seaholm.
Gold @ Oak Park
Oak Park
Ferndale
Royal Oak
Hazel Park
Southfield Arts and Tech
Berkley
Boys Insight: When looking at this meet, Oak Park is the
face of this division. Southfield Arts and Tech will give Oak Park some trouble.
Royal Oak is a Darkhorse candidate. I don’t expect much from Ferndale, Berkley,
or Hazel Park.
Girls Insight: Oak Park is the face of this meet, they are
very talented. Royal Oak is solid in the hurdles and Southfield Arts and Tech
in the field events. I don’t expect much from Hazel Park, Ferndale, or Berkley
here.
Prediction: No one is touching Oak Park here in both Boys
and Girls.
White @ Bloomfield Hills
Bloomfield Hills
Troy
Athens
Stoney Creek
Pontiac
Avondale
Boys Insight: There a lot of teams are solid in different
areas. Bloomfield Hills is very solid this season but watch out for Stoney
Creek they will challenge Bloomfield Hills. Avondale is your Darkhorse team
along with Troy Athens. Troy is very improved as well so watch out for them as
well.
Girls Insight: Troy and Bloomfield Hills are the best teams
in this league. The Colts strength are the distances while the Blackhawks are
very athletic and have depth everywhere. This has the makings of a close meet between
those two teams. Stoney Creek is your Darkhorse.
Prediction: Girls it will be the hosts Bloomfield Hills, too
much depth everywhere else. In Boys I like Bloomfield Hills like the girls, it
will be a repeat performance in that area.
Red @ Oxford
Oxford
Orion
Clarkston
Adams
Rochester
Boys Insight: Orion has won the league title in the regular
season but Adams will be the team that challenges the Dragons. Oxford is a huge
threat in the field events and is expected to do some damage there. Clarkston
is deep and Rochester is an interesting team to keep an eye on as well.
Girls Insight: Orion looks really good to take the crown
outright but oddly enough it’s not Clarkston that they have to worry about
sharing the crown with, it’s Adams. Adams beat Clarkston in the regular season
but lost to Orion. Clarkston could do damage to both Adams and Orion.
Prediction: Orion has clinched at least a share of the
league title but expect Adams to make a push here in the boys, they could very
well win the meet. In the Girls, I’m not sure how Clarkston is going to play
this but the Dragons match them depth for depth and I think they will be the
ones that win it outright.
