2018-Too Early Outlook OVC Girls and Boys

Post by noreply66 »

Girls

Chesapeake

Graduated around four--Looks to be good in the 800 and 1600
Looking for big Time help--100, 100h, 200, 300h, 400, Discus, Shot Put, High Jump, Pole Vault
3200 and Long Jump should score in big meets
Look for them to finish near the bottom in the conference meet.

Dawson-Bryant

Had real Low graduation--Look to be good in the 100, 300, 3200, Discus, Shot Put, Pole Vault
Will need lots of help in the 100h, 400, 800, High Jump
200, 1600, Long Jump will bring points in points
Should finish in the middle of the conference meet.

Fairland

Didn't have too much of a loss as far is points from the conference meet.
Fairland is Fairland and they are going to score in every event. Question is how many.
Don't see any fall off from 2017
Will be at the top in the conference meet.

Gallipolis

Lost around 6 to graduation and those six have been Gallia's point getters for four years.
Look strong in the High jump and Long Jump
Going to have to rely on the freshman to help in the 100, 100h, 300, 400, 3200, Discus, Shot Put, Pole Vault
200, 800, 1600 will score in the conference meet
Gallia just might have their worse team in decades but will still finish in the middle of the pack.

Ironton

The lady Tigers didn't graduate too much if any. Should be good in the 100, 100h, 200, 300h, 800, High jump, Pole vault
Looking for help in the 400, 1600, 3200, Discus, Shot put, Long Jump
Ironton will have speed and some good hurdlers. Will look good at the start of most meets but the distance and field events will allow others to catch up.
Ironton will finish in the middle of the pack in the conference meet

Portsmouth

The Trojans are another team didn't have much of a loss to graduation. Should be okay in the 100, 200, 400 , Shot Put, Long Jump
Hurdles will be a thorn in their side.
800, 1600, 3200, Discus, Pole Vault will get their share of points in all meets
Portsmouth will look good in meets that doesn't include Fairland. Could very well take the #2 spot in the conference meet.

Rock Hill

Lost four to graduation. Look for them to be good in the Discus and Shot Put
3200 and Pole vault will bring points in most meets.
All other events will be a struggle.
Will finish near the bottom in the conference meet

South Point

Lost in the area of four to graduation. Should do well in the 300h and 400
100h, 200, Long jump should bring points in most meets
The rest of the events will need the incoming freshman to help.
Could finish near the bottom in the conference.

Boys

Chesapeake

Hardy lost anyone from from 2017...Look for them to do well in the 100, 200, 400, 800, HJ, LJ, PV
300 hurdles will be average
All other events will need help from newcomers or freshmen
Peake has the chance to finish high in the conference

Dawson/Bryant

Had around 6 graduate. Should do well in the 110, 400, Discus, High Jump, Long jump
Shot put will do okay in most meets
Will need to find help in the other events
Should finish in the middle of the pack come the conference meet.

Fairland

Lost a lot from last year but will do well in the 100, 110, 200, 300, Pole Vault
400, 1600, 3200, Discus will bring points in the conference meet.
Might be hard to score in the 800, SP, HJ, LJ
Still should finish near the top

Gallia

Not very many graduated but the ones that did had talent. Look for them to do well in the hurdles and 3200.
They will be average in the pole vault and if runners from the 3200 can do well the 1600 could be good.
The rest of the events will be hard for the Blue Devils to score in.
I do know they will have a good freshman in the sprints.
If a couple other freshmen can come through they will stay out of the bottom few.

Ironton

The Tigers lost three good boys...Only see them doing well in the Discus and Shot Put
Just do not see this team doing well at all
Going to be hard to score very many points in the conference meet.

Portsmouth

Lost 2 from graduation. Lot of young talent on this team in 2017 and should carry over into 2018.
See them doing well in the 100, 300, 1600, 3200, Shot Put and Long Jump
The 200, 400, and 800 will bring some much needed point come conference time.
Will need someone step up in the 110, Discus, High Jump and Pole Vault
If the cards fall right do not be shocked if the Trojans win the conference.

Rock Hill

Only lost around two to graduation---Will do well in the 800, 1600, 3200, Discus, High Jump and Pole Vault
Rock Hill be a team that they will either do well in an event or nothing at all.
Should be a strong middle of the pack team

South Point

Lost 4 to graduation---Should do well in the 100, 200, 400
The Shot Put and Long Jump should get them points in most meets
All other event will be a struggle and will finish towards the bottom.



This doesn't take in relays, freshmen and any new members.

late 2017 look

GIRLS

Fairland.....Still the class of the OVC. Depth might be down some this year.
Dawson-Bryant.....800 and High Jump could be a problem.
Portsmouth.....Will have more depth this year and should make a good showing in most meets.
Ironton.....Looking better than in the past several years. Still will have trouble in the distance and field events.
Gallipolis.....What has happened here? Will struggle to get big points in most events.
South Point.....Not much depth and will not have many strong events
Cjesapeake.....Hope the up coming girls will help.
Rock Hill.....Also could use the up coming girls to step up fast.

BOYS

Portsmouth.....Only big weakness I see her is the High Jump. Look for this team to do well in any meet in 2018
Fairland.....Don't see the depth this year.
Chesapeake.....Will struggle in the 110, 3200, Discus and Shot put
Rock Hill.....Up coming needs to step in at 3 or 4 events to make this team compete with the top guns.
Dawson-Bryant.....Hurdles and distance will need to be looked at.
South Point.....Hurdles, 16/32 don't look to good.
Gallipolis.....Just not enough guns
Ironton.....Will they ever come back?
