I think it's safe to say that the top two spots are going to be a battle between Sioux City East and Sioux Falls Washington. East had a strong start to the season and Washington looks like they are continuing off of their success from last season. I wouldn't be surprised to see either of them take GC here. I want to say this is Hinton's first competition of the season, while Emmetsburg has had an absolutely great season so far. The fifth finalist spot will go to a prep group, which I am not as familiar with, but I know that O'Gorman's womens group always has a good group.
I'll throw out predictions.
GC. Sioux City East
1RU. Sioux Falls Washington
2RU. Emmetsburg
3RU. Hinton
4RU. O'Gorman Women
Completely Random Predictions
GC: Sioux Falls Washington (BV, BC)
1RU: Emmetsburg (BB)
2RU: East
3RU: Hinton
4RU:Sioux Falls Prep
I feel Hinton may be able to shoot up and surprise us all in finals
I live in Yankton, so I'm happy that East is attending a comp close to (my home-away-from) home! And of course, I always love watching O'Gorman, Washington, and Emmetsburg (especially because Mr. Fog sat next to me once at a competition and talked to me, which was awesome)
