Last week, I did what-will-it-take projections for 1A, 2A, and 4A. I’m mostly pleased with how the projections held up against the progression of the marks over the weekend. There were, however, seven projected marks that have already been exceeded. Yesterday, I did the same projections for 3A. It’s too soon to get a read on how those projections are faring.

As someone who spent long portion of his life coaching athletes to make state-qualifying marks, I understand something of the pain of thinking you’ve laid down a big enough mark to make it only to discover you haven’t. It certainly was not my intent to offer up projections of what it will take (over a two-week span) that would fall within one week, but a small amount of that is bound to happen. There’s inherent variability in the process of posting state-qualifying marks.

Making projections of what it will take is, in one sense, easier when there is only one week remaining in the qualifying season. You have more information to work from and fewer variables to weigh. But, in another sense, it’s more difficult. With only one week in the season to go, teams are forced into choices. You can’t pursue everything, so you have to pick and choose what you’ll pursue. So, some events will be largely ignored in the final week while other events will see intense competition. It’s very difficult to know in advance which events will fall into which piles. Nevertheless, I’ve take my best shots below. 

Packing, below, is measured on a 1-3 scale, 1 being very light packing, 3 being fairly intense packing. Clearly, if you’re aiming for state, light packing is a more hopeful sign than tight packing.

My hope is that you’ll find these projections useful as you set your faces toward qualifying for state in the week ahead.

5A Boys Discus

Current #18: Luke Sandy, Legend, 141-0 (note that any fractions of inches shown on discus marks should be ruled irrelevant); Packing: 2; Projected Top-18 Cutoff: 145-0

5A Girls Discus

Current #18: Emma Stalder, Fossil Ridge, 107-11 (note that any fractions of inches shown on discus marks should be ruled irrelevant); Packing: 2; Projected Top-18 Cutoff: 110-6

Note that on the discus marks, a lot depends on general wind conditions. If the right quartering winds show up at multiple venues, the projected marks listed here are probably not aggressive enough. If winds are consistently blowing at the backs of the throwers, we probably won’t reach the projected marks shown. Over the course of a season, these things will tend to even out. Over the course of a week of competition, not so much so.

Now, all that’s left for us is to wait and see what the week holds. Look for a comparable 5A article tomorrow.
