2A Regionals: MERGE

BOYS PREVIEW

While most of the other classifications will be a close and competitive battle to see which team takes home the State Championship trophy, 2A boys will not be. Oakland Mills can most likely not return for day 2 and still win the meet. In our projections they score 165.5 points, 126.5 points ahead of Glenelg's 38.5 points. There is no foreseeable way to see that Oakland Mills loses. They have elite talent in all disciplines. Trevin Mchargh, Ethan Aidam, Adbur Hassan and Shane King will score over 100 points between the 4 of them,

The battle for second, however, should be close. Glenelg, Dunbar (MD), Liberty, and Wicomico all score between 33-38.5 points in the projections. To see where these teams score points, check out the projections in each event below. 

Top Athletes to Watch

Trevin McHargh (Oakland Mills) - Trevin has a chance to break the 2A State record in the 100 and will look to challenge his teammate Shane King for the win in the 200 as well. 

Ethan Aidam (Oakland Mills) - Aidam has dominated distance events this year, winning XC States in the fall, the 3200 during the indoor state meet, and now has qualified in 4 events. Look for him to bring home a lot of hardware.

Tyler Edson (Liberty) - Edson has run under the current state meet record of 1:53 in the 800 and will look to not only win but take home the record as well. 

Kemond Felder (McDonough) - Felder has run 14.3 for 110m Hurdles, one of the fastest times in the state this year. 

Ruichen He (Glenelg) He has a chance to break the 2A state record in the Disc and will be a medal contender in the shot as well!

Darius Grimes - One of the top throwers in the state, Grimes has thrown 55 feet. 

Editors Note: For the projections below, we decided to filter results by who qualified for states in specific events, and then use their season-best time or mark. 

We did not feel that solely using the Regional Merge results was as accurate as using season best. For example, in the girls 2A 3200, Hereford had 3 girls, Estelle Snider, Sylvia Snider, and Rebekka Hillier, who ran 11:57, 11:57, and 12:02 at their region meet. They have PRs of 11:09, 11:22, and 11:23 which rank as the 3rd, 4th, and 6th best 3200m time in 2A this season respectfully. If we just used regional merge results they would be projected to score no points at States, which is extremely unlikely. There are many scenarios like this across all 4 classifications. 

While there are still issues with using season-best time for State meet projections, such as not accounting for athletes getting tired who are competing in multiple events and possibly not being able to fully load up a relay team, we feel it's the most accurate way.
