2023 State Finals Preview – Distance

Well, I ain’t got much in terms of words here. But the distance folks get all the attention for a good five months of the year, so they shouldn’t complain too much. For once, I get to deviate from the stats and offer my own predictions!

I’m saying the same thing I said in the previous previews. You’re awesome by making it here. If you’re not predicted to win, go win. If you’re not predicted to make All-State, find a way to get on that podium. If you’re predicted to win, show the state what you’ve got. Prove these right or wrong. I’ll be handing out awards for the D1 Finals. I look forward to hearing about how wrong these are 🙂
