We’re a few days out from the release of regional sites and selections. A few weeks out from the time that I’ll finish analyzing and beginning to write previews.
Given that the regional previews won’t begin in earnest until July, I decided to give these little projections, segmented by area. In many cases, teams from the same area will have city, county, or all-area meets. In a few cases, they don’t. I have great reverence for the teams of many areas. Ann Arbor, 127, Petoskey, Grand Rapids, Kensington, you name it. This will be a fun way of seeing how similar teams in vicinity of one another stack up.
I’ll start with Ann Arbor:

Gabriel Richard
